Well turns out it uses my router's ip whenever I host a server (those 192. IPs) and that just won't work, so how do I host a server on my site like you see on minecraft servers and 64pixels.
Forward your ports and put your computer in the DMZ.
[QUOTE=mjb559;27632363]Forward your ports and put your computer in the DMZ.[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry what. I understand the forward ports part but what.
Forward UDP and TCP port 25565
edit:
Google it :P
[QUOTE=Rocket;27632857]Go to portforward.com. Follow the instructions.
Now, go to whatsmyip.org, and type that ip and then :25565 into the minecraft server box.[/QUOTE]
I know how to forward ports, I was saying what to the DMZ part.
Anyone? That link doesn't tell you shit on how to use DMZ.
No one likes you anymore.
Cool.
Do not DMZ your computer, forwarding ports is fine.

I do that, but to connect I still have to use the 196 IP and that won't work for other people so I need to connect my website somehow.
[QUOTE=Rocket;27641623]No, you don't.
Go To whatsmyip.org. Type in the ip there. You can use it. Others can use it.

Incorrect as usual supersnail.
He still needs to use his private IP. In some cases he won't be able to connect with his external IP. I'm not sure if this is a problem with NAT or routing on the ISP's side.
But he needs to give other people his external IP.
[QUOTE=Rocket;27642444]Hmm, because I can sure connect to my servers through my external IP.[/QUOTE]
It's happened more than not.
[QUOTE=compwhizii;27642541]It's happened more than not.[/QUOTE]
I'll host a 64pixel server and connect using the 196, if it works I will give the external to a friend and see if he connects, if so I thank you.
