Robin Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 IP Chicken. That's your external IP. Make sure you port forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvK Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 You don't forward IP addresses, your forward the port number. Which will be four digits. Your other systems will connect just fine because they are all connected to the same local area network, your router. Your friends cannot connect with your server until the requested port is allowed by your router. So let's say your server port is 6969 you would have to portforward 6969, then your external IP would be what your friend's require to connect, as well as port 6969.
