Alternate Domain Name

[Flygon]

I'm from MFGG, while this may or may not be much help, I'll just state this here.

Getting people to modify their hosts file (To bypass the DNS, assuming this was the problem or however it works) does not seem to work except for two people, the instructions I supplied are below:

First Shining Force Central and now TSR?

I'll just copypasta my SFC explanation with TSR shoehorned in:

To fix the connection issues, go to:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ and open the host (No file extention) file with Notepad.

Below the following lines:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

Add this:

694.23.97.194 spriters-resource.com
94.23.97.194 www.spriters-resource.com

The end result should be this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
94.23.97.194 spriters-resource.com
94.23.97.194 www.spriters-resource.com

As long as TSR does not change its IP, you should be able to connect.

I tested it, and it works.

The thing is, this only seemed to work for two people, so... I am completely confused.

Note: I had to add a tag in the www in the guide to prevent the forums filter from screwing up the guide, good thing you cannot copy and paste tags hidden in text.

Edit: Quick note, on MFGG, my username is 'Kevin Rudd' if you wish to contact me there.
