go to windows cmd and enter "ping dctalk.no-ip.info", it will print an IP address, use that IP address as your DNS, and the masterlist should populate as normal again

I'm using my BBA. I was able to find the server by finally just doing an address search via Info. I can't get the server listing to pop up by default for whatever reason.
