=== Verify DNS Resolution ===

To make sure your new hostname resolves to your home IP address, perform a DNS lookup from any device:

<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>'''Open a Terminal or Command Prompt:'''</p>
<ul>
<li>On Linux or macOS, open Terminal.</li>
<li>On Windows, open Command Prompt.</li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>'''Run an <code>nslookup</code> Command:'''</p>
<pre>nslookup louishomeserver.chickenkiller.com</pre></li></ol>

Replace <code>louishomeserver.chickenkiller.com</code> with your actual hostname.

<ol start="3" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>'''Verify the Result:'''</p>
<ul>
<li>The output should show your current public IP address associated with your hostname.</li>
<li>This confirms that your dynamic DNS is working correctly.</li>
<li>You could also just use <code>ping</code>.</li></ul>

<pre>ping louishomeserver.chickenkiller.com</pre></li></ol>

Does it ping your IP address? You’re good.
