So, I have a dynamic external ip and I want to know if it's possible to change my server's ip in the gametracker ip section?

The only way would be to make use of the dynamic dns feature. There is a section on the Manage page to enter a DNS address.

If you don't have a domain name to be able to do that, I believe there are a few services that will offer subdomains to do this for free.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

It says " DNS name does not resolve to a valid ip address "
What is that supposed to mean?

You probably did not set an A record for the domain/sub domain, or you did not allow it time to propogate.

A domain name or subdomain, like gametracker.com or myserver.gametracker.com, which actually points to your server.

The original is not on the website so it won't work.

But for future reference I'll give the info again:

1. Go to original server and update the DNS to the domain/subdomain.
2. Change the IP the DNS address points to to the new IP
3. Wait for GT to automatically update the page to the new IP
