Hey Jesse, Vic had 2 options for sending him something and I used Paypal not DC credits. Wasn't a huge amount but I really do appreciate what's been done and the response from everyone that chipped in with suggestions.

Some good idea's here.
I'll try and follow some through.

@KodeZwerg - It seems that my domain name at No-IP is treated as a sub-domain. This is what I get "Can't get nameservers at parent server!<br>I only check domains not subdomains!"

@4wd - I like this approach and if I could parse and return just the IP and wrap the code up behind a GUI - that'd be ideal.

@Stoic Joker - that's not a bad idea to have a webpage showing the IP. The server does respond so I know the routing to it is fine (just that the game instance is only allowing IP not domain name to access the process). Still interested in having a small utility that can be run on a client machine as it is a dynamic IP (so the IP is available outside the server already) and although I have Respond to ICMP turned off on the router (so all actual ping responses will fail), the first line if the servers there does return an IP which can be parsed out if I can figure out how or erm someone can for me :) But I'll look into the other suggestions as well. Thanks.

Before I ask anyone to do any coding, does anyone know of a utility that allows a (list of ?) domain name(s) to be used, and the current IP Addresses that each resolves to ?

The scenario is that a game I play does have Connect by IP (only). It used to allow putting a domain name in and it all worked well, until the ability to connect via a domain name was removed.

Because the game server is behind a dynamic IP, which changes more frequently than I'd like, everyone else that plays on the server needs to open a command prompt and issue a ping request to see what the IP Address may have changed to, so they can enter that in the Connect by IP field. A number of these players haven't even heard of a command prompt nor should I need to teach them the arcane art of pinging something.

I'd like the simplest method possible, to have a portable utility (maybe C# ?) that may only have a single saved domain name, that shows the current IP of that domain name.
I can see that this would be useful for more than 1 domain name but for now, 1's all we need. Probably need a Refresh so that a timed check (every x minutes) can be overridden and have it checked immediately.

I've actually done a bit of hunting on the net and there's any manner of dns and hostname and domain name checkers but even if they work they often have screeds of other bumpf that just isn't relevant.

Anyone got any bright idea's / suggestions ?
