Metropolis Street is Racer Back Online!

Well Kazade triple-checked the DNS entry and it looks fine. I'm not sure what the issue would be. The response from the DNS server gives the IP of 23.92.76.195 if that means anything. No idea where that IP comes from as it's not the one that Jial gave me.

Edit: nevermind, dns I believe can only resolve names only

And what dlc does this game offer?

Various Time Trial DLC

Good to know, thank you

Found a solution to the issue if we want to go this route.

People can simply login to their pi and I can give them the IPTables route. Just tested it and it does work. Autoredirects after that point.

I'm currently consulting with Jial/PC to see if this is easiest way to handle this issue.

Adding an entry to dnsmasq would be easier and permanent. Just type the commend below on the Pi after logging in. It will add the DNS entry to dnsmasq.

Code: Select all

wget -q "dc.dreamcastlive.net/dnsmasq.conf" -O /etc/dnsmasq.conf

It's not the perfect solution as if the server IP ever changes, it'll have to be manually changed again but it works for now.

Iptables can be permanent too but your method is less work so kudos haha

lol Yeah, I've had it in dnsmasq since Jial emailed me originally. That's why I didn't know the DNS redirect wasn't working. Hopefully we can figure it out but in the meantime, maybe you should add the above solution to the first post.

Hmm unless im doing something wrong. I ran the update and verified it was in the /etc/dnsmasq.conf. But that method doesn't want to work for my pi. When I ping it it's still showing that original IP. I tried resetting as well.

just run wget -q "dc.dreamcastlive.net/dnsmasq.conf" -O /etc/dnsmasq.conf right?

[pcwzrd13]

Hmmm. Try opening the file with the command below and check to make sure the entry is there.

sudo pico /etc/dnsmasq.conf

The entry should look like:

address=/ metropolis.dream-key.com/90.69.133.247

Should be under "# Add domains which you want to force to an IP address here."

Yeah I see that entry in place but doesn't work for me for me for some reason. Only the iptables entry works for me.

Is dnsmasq something that is preinstalled?

[pcwzrd13]

Strange. Yeah dnsmasq is used by default. It's where the main DNS server is set as well.

Did you try a couple times? Sometimes for me it doesn't load the page the first time. If I try again it works.
