I have changed all my IP`s in the server files to 192.168.2.100 and the server is up and running fine, i can connect to the server on the hosting PC useing 192.168.2.100 in my server.ini, i can also to connect to the server on my wife`s PC useing 192.168.2.100 in the client.

I have also set up all of the Global IP`s in the server files, yet when i go and test to see if the server is Online at my brothers house i get connection closed :mad:, any ideas please?

Thanks

I know what my Global IP is, I`m 90% certain it`s a router prob, my IPv4Address is 192.168.2.100

When i put 192.168.2.1 in the server files i get access blah blah socket error, so they must have to be 192.168.2.100. Its the router IP i`m not sure about, does that have to be 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.100, all my Global IP in my files are fine i have checked numerous times.

I`ll try 192.168.2.1 now on my router.

to connect outside of a "LAN" u need to change 3 IP's in the server side to ur External IP, u have everythin set up fine. u just need to search and find out what ips it is u need to change like i say its only 3 to ur External IP.

http://www.lomcn.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=37657 on this guide it should explain what IP's to change to ur External IP Address. GL with it m8

yes the 192.168.2.100 is the right address, try unplugging ur Router, then connect to the net with out the router, and change the IPs to ur External IP, see if any 1 can connect that way, just trying this gives a bit more leway an narrows it down more

Do you actually have to use a router ?

Well your running a Belkin router, mine is also Belkin, 192.168.2.1 is the configuration IP for your router which will never be set to a PC LAN IP.

You don't have to use a router but files still run through routers as it does with mine.
I don't know what you have setup wrong though :err:
