Which is my WAN IP?

[tanjiajun_34]

When i plugged in my router, and go to WhatIsMyIP.com - 208.116.34.18 it shows me a ip.
But when I directly connect to modem, it shows another ip.

I wanted to use my router to host the audition server.
Which WAN IP should i use?

When on router - whatever you get as ur IP is the one you gotta use. Coz you obviously cant connect through the other. Common Sense.

But when I off then on my modem, the ip changed.

Use an IP Mask then. Google FTW!

there are two different ips you'll encounter:
Local Area Network and Wide Area Network. It's quite simple really. LAN ip (192.168.x.x) is used for your local network, and the WAN (x.x.x.x) is used outside of your local network. you need to keep your router connected (for security issues, duh) and use the wan ip from 'what's my ip'. Of course I can imagine you'll need both

The guy has a dynamic IP and he is just not able to figure it out.

Which ports should I forward for my router?
