OK, so i want to host a temp. server from my home pc to use over the internet. Only problem is I use a router. So my PCs IP address is different from that of the router...

If i start a dedicated server for the internet, it states that my ip is 192.168.0.2 which is my local address, not my internet address.

The game is not accessible through using my real IP address, but i can access it by using my local ip.

Problem is, that others cannot access the server...

Anyone help?
