My server http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/27.50.71.17:3658/ is reading as dead when it is very much alive.

This has happened before and no it is not a firewall issue. What hasn't happened before is that it has in the past two days shown up via xfire using a slightly different IP address. The IP that xfire lists it as having is 27.50.71.10

Note that the only digit difference is the last one where it went from 7 to 0. I am still using RM to connect to 27.50.71.17 and get no response if I try to use 27.50.71.10 although the name and settings listed by xfire are identical to my server. How do I get gametracker to recognize it again?

I am able to scan it on HLSW with .10.

When your IP changes, you can add the new server at http://www.gametracker.com/servers/

If desired, you can always use the DNS feature to automatically change the IP of a page whenever the DNS changes.

I didn't really want to add the server a second time, especially when the IP hasn't changed at all. Why it is reading as 10 and not 17 is beyond my understanding.

I also tried the DNS feature and simply got a message "Invalid DNS name"

An IP changing from 27.50.71.17 to 27.50.71.10 is actually an IP change, believe it or not.

Yes, if you are not adding a valid DNS address, it will not work. A DNS name would be something like gametracker.com or hello.gametracker.com

This image is when I logged in to my remote manager for my server. As you can clearly see my IP ends in 17. The IP has never been changed so it makes no sense.
I also can't alter the DNS name of a server with an IP ending in 10 as I don't own one.

You can use a tool like HLSW to test scan a server.

For example, when you put in 27.50.71.17:3658 in the address bar in HLSW, no server is found. If you enter 27.50.71.10:3658, it scans a server with your server's name.

You may need to contact your server provider to ask them why .10 is working but .17 is not.

Ok will do. Thank you for your patience and time
