Ok I got the free account set up at that noip.com place. The thing is it askes me what type of service I want as in:
DNS Host (A)
DNS Host (Round Robin)
DNS Alias (CNAME)
Port 80 Redirect
Web Redirect
I have no idea what any of these are. I just left it on default (dnshost A) cause it was asking for a URL and port for the redirects. I got my ip address in there (the main ip, not my actual pc's ip given by the router).
I tried booting world.exe useing the redirect and it said it couldn't connect. So then I tried world.exe useing just my external IP address and it seemed to connect just fine. However the boot5zones won't do anything with my noip.com address or external IP, it pops up and closes out so fast I can't even read what error message it gives. My files look like this ATM, of course I have X's where username/password should be, as well as part of my ip address for safety reasons.

As I said I tried useing the domain name made at no-ip.com before useing the actual ip address, and world.exe wouldn't work period with it. Boot5zones does nothing either way. I also did make sure my windows XP firewall was down.
**EDIT**
Do I need to edit anything inside my router? I just went in and checked and most of the stuff I have no idea about, but I was able to conclude the Firewall is disabled inside of it.
