ok, so i have a dynamic ip, so i thought id make joining my server easier by linking my server ip into a dyndns and no-ip account (did both to see what worked), anyways, i have made the account and they have given me the address "bomsamp.sytes.net".....and that is supposed to link to my server....now, when i add this address to my favroites, it cant find it....ive opened my ports, and my server is online, its just not being found by using my "no-ip" link, why cant samp find it with my no-ip adresss.
is there something else i have to put in the favorites adress bar when i go to "add favorites" othen then "bomsamp.sytes.net" ?

It's most likely a problem with no-ip's side, not SA:MP. You should go through their FAQ and Support section.

Are you hosting this server on the same computer your playing it on? If so, then it obviously isn't going to work because your trying to connect to your external IP, the one that others are meant to connect to. ''
I just tried it and I can see your server.
