I want to get into Active Mode but I can't figure out where to start with this DynIP program. Does anyone know how to work it or know of another program (preferably without a trial) that I can use that can input my IP so i can go active?
Thanks.

Active mode requires you to enter your IP address in settings. A lot of people are assigned a new IP address by their ISP every time they reboot their broadband modems, or every time they reconnect to a dialup service. In order to avoid updating DC++ settings every time your IP address changes, a custom domain name from www.dynip.org (edit: www.dyndns.org , der ) or www.no-ip.com coupled with an automatic IP update program can be used. Enter the dyndns address, say joey.no-ip.net instead of the actual IP address and let the dyndns updater do the work for you.
So, which part are you having trouble with?

If you have a router or modem with a router built in, you'll need to configure that. If not, the IP from www.whatismyip.com will work.
