Public server behind a router

[DamaskRose]

I have found that even with configuring my serverlist.cs file and setting all the settings for my router I still cannot have anyone outside my network connect. If possible if there is anyone who has their router configured and public usage on their server could you please assist me? I'd like to be sure that I have everything set correctly to get my server running publically. Thank you.

You need to forward the port to your server, and make sure the address variable is your ip otherwise it won't work.

Could you tell me where I might be able to find that information please?

Find the website for you router and read their help section on your model.

You will find info on how to forward your ports at your router manufacturer's website.
You can find out what your ip is by going to www.whatismyip.com

EDIT: Phantom we have to stop meeting like this :P

question: what kind of router do you have?

port forwarding is also called dns forwarding
you should see something like this in your router set up:

IP port range protocol IP address
___ to____ tcp, udp, gre --.--.--.--

you want to input IP range 2953 tp 2953

and protocol TCP


and then input your computer's IP address something like 192.168.0.4

you can find your IP address by going to www.whatismyip.com, or (XP) going to run: cmd/ipconfig/all

or go to run: winipcfg and scroll to your nic adapter and find your IP
you also may need a dns host: like N0_ip.com and get a free host


in your serverlist.cs and input something like:

PHP Code:

public const string Address = "yourshard.serveftp.com";

public const string ServerName = "YOURShard"; 


you will also need to update your host IP all the time
I hope this helps
