Everything runs fine, except the server uses my Local ip, instead of my external

[Altered]

My server, when run ( have library files, have client) opens up, loads all the maps and general nonsense that hasnt yet been created, and then lists my Local IP address and the port 4000\. i dont care about the port being 4000, i know how to change that. its in Server – Data--Config.. the problem is.. theres no ip change. So my question is, HOW THE DUCK do i make the server run off of my external ip, rather than my local ip???

PLEASE help….  I can honestly say that i have spent a total of 24+ hours ( not a calendar day, 24 ACTUAL working hours) trying to figure this out.. and i got nowhere.

You do realize no matter what you do the server will say it's running off of your local IP. Go to Server>Data>Config and change the IP in there to your external, save it..

the only contents in the Server– Data-- Options file are as follows

OPTIONS]
Game_Name=Eclipse Origins
Port= 7001
MOTD=Welcome to Eclipse Origins.
Website=http://www.touchofdeathforums.com
.............

i lack an ip option. and so i decided to put one in one time.. IP= ( my external IP) but that didnt solve the problem either.

Your client is connecting to your external IP, not your server.

And keep in mind you'll need to forward your ports.
