Dr. DNS not working

Post by Plastic »

I can't seem to get Dr. DNS to work. It keeps on saying "looking up dctalk.ath.cx" "host does not exist"

Dr DNS isn't really used anymore just use 173.69.38.20 as DNS1 in net settings

Hey Plastic, welcome to the forums.

Our version of Dr.DNS has not been updated for some time. I'm sorry it appears to be linking to our expired hostname. Our current one is: dctalk.no-ip.info. I just updated the redirect file to our new hostname try to download the updated file here: http://dreamcast-talk.com/uploads/pso/drdns.rar

Yeah that one is hard coded and I can't seem to successfully hex edit it out without breaking the application. It should still work but I'm not able to test it myself at this time. What game are you using this for? Did you get a chance to test it?

Edit: OH I see you have it in a Quake 3 directory on your pc so I assume its Q3 lol. You could also try putting our DNS: 173.69.38.20 into the DNS field on the q3 connection screen. That's how I connect to the master list and it works fine,
