Portforward Server?

[ritsuka]

Ok I have a very important question about Portforwarding!I have portforwarded the Client of my game and need to know how others can be able to play since you have to have the server up to play. So I am wondering if all I need to have is my server up when i have Internet and then will other people be able to play? Or is it more complicated than that??

I believe you have to portforward server to, otherwise i don't think they can access it.  Maybe try it with a friend?

He's right.
You have to forward the game port to your pc.
So it would look like this:
the internetz -> router -> your pc

Remember: Your Internet resets every day, so you get a new IP. But the PC shouldn't get a new IP.
If your LAN IP is not fix, than fix it. (no DHCP)

Hello,

Um.. Yes what both said.  :cheesy:
When portforwarding you need to port your pc.

Also when you start your server and it has IP: "No.'s" Port: "No.'s" thats what people wont use to connect.

Use [http://www.ipchicken.com/](http://www.ipchicken.com/) then what it says there, that what people use to connect.

Ive got a friend tryed it and works for him so trust me on this.  ;)
