NOCTURN (I answer you first cuz it's quicker and easier ^_^) Put "whatever.dyndns.org" in (WITH the quotes) ->
Jakkin Dun cost nuffin! ;-> Go to dyndns.org and sign up for the StaticDNS service. All this does is give you 23.53.120.23(or whatever) a "blah.dyndns.org" name so that no one has to memorise numbers ->
Also, on your router, you need to access it's configuration program. This is *PROBABLY* a website ON the router. First step Since you're in Win98, go to Start Button and click Run. Type in Winipcfg. At the top it'll say something about either a PPP connection or a network card. Make SURE the Network card (or NIC) is selected. Find something that says "Gateway". Write that number on a piece of paper.
Now, open up your web browser.
Type in http//<whatever that number you wrote down is>
That *SHOULD* get you into your config program.
There may be a password needed. NO idea what that could be, but I've seen admin, or administrator, or setup, or config as Router Passwords before, so try 'em all.
Once in, find something that says "Forwarding". In there, you have to forward port 2593 to whatever your computer's LAN IP address is.
Example If your computer is 192.168.100.1 on your LAN, forward port 2593 to 192.168.100.1.
Since each router and each LAN is different, you may have to poke around a bit to get it set up.
Just DON'T change ANYTHING that says "Router IP" or "WAN IP" or "LAN IP"... That could make your day REALLY annoying (IE Kill your net connection, or your connection to your router).
