I am on a networked computer on a workgroup from a router/hub. How can i make a server for thw whole world to enter. I tried the tutorial on www.selfkill.de but that didnt help. I got the dedicated server 2.2.1/2.2.2 but when i start the game my comuter's network IP comes up not the router IP. So when i search for my server i can join but only if i type in my computer's network IP not the router one. How can i make it so everyone can join. BTW in he lobby server my ping comes up as (???)
THANKS A LOT IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS

Read Me Second - Running A Soldat Server.

Did you forward the ports on the router to your network IP? Don't forget that.

OK how do you forward the ports on the router to your network IP?
Seriously i am a network router noob.LOL

What kind of router do you have? Usually you can bring up the router administration tool by typing in http://192.168.0.1/ . There will probably be a Port Forwarding link around there somewhere :| If you can tell me your router name, I can probably give you detailed instructions on how to forward your ports :P

OK. The router is an ADSL Ethernet/USB Web Excel
Please though i dont wont to disable any firewall things as my old man hates viruses, etc.

Now i have found out how do to port fowarding. Just what IP address do i type in to forward to. Is it the BIG NETWORK one (213.56.73.128), the router IP (10.0.0.2), or the local IP on my PC (10.0.0.8).

ARRRGHHH --- So many IP's, so many numbers.
THANKS

You need to forward to your PC (10.0.0.8)

There, ive fowarded to my pc just one problem. I still cant enter my own game that ive set up (the dedicated game) my ping is still ???.

Anyway what does the ??? mean. Its not fair because i am one of about 10 servers that have the question marks.

wots wrong with fowarding on a LAN

There is nothing wrong with port forwarding on a LAN, but it's pointless if people online aren't going to be joining, because they could just join through your network address instead of your IP address.
