Run a server with a router?

[Bugsyy]

Is there any possible way to have others join my server even though I'm using a router? I gave them the IP address for what it would be if I had just the modem.But that didn't work.I even changed the IP ports but that was a failure also.If anyone has any other idea's on how to,please tell me.

I believe this belongs in the server section. You'll get more response there.

you will prob get more info there on how to open/forward ports in your router as well. so i'll just move this over there

What you also need to do is find out your real IP, not your network address.

Put your server LAN address (192.168.xxx.xxx) in the DMZ of your router or forward UDP port 29070 to the LAN address of the server. Then find your external internet IP address as was stated above. That's what people need to join your server from the internet.

I also tried to get a server working with router but only the lan ip shows.

only with romoving the router the normal ip adres shows up.

Maybe does anyone knows the port for jka the strart trigger port and the end trigger port or something else i dont understand what to do

See this thread as it details most of what you should need to know. If it doesn't help, I'll try to expand.

if you need help forwarding ports within your router, http://portforward.com/routers.htm is very helpful for begginers for this..

Port forwarding is a skill lots of people have to learn when coming into online gaming... perhaps this should be a sticky?
