V117.1 Port Forwarding help

[james.]

I've read these guides and none answer what I'm curious on. I always get firewall error when trying to launch the launcher.exe. The bat file opens up perfect with no errors.

When I type ipconfig in cmd, I get about 30 lines of stuff. I chose Default Gateway which is like 168somethingsomethingsomething. It is also the IP that I used to access my router. When I port forward, it says that IP with a single blank number at the end that I can change. the Default Gateway is 1 at the end. So do I change all of them to 1? and Do I copy and paste this IP into all of the things I'm supposed to change IPs in? =\ I'm confused @_@ Please help me.

The IP you should use is not the default gateway. Default gateway is modem code to connect from your computer to modem. If you do it this way, probably only those connected to your router can log-in your server.

I think you should use WAN IP. Which looks the same as ur default gateway but doesn't end with 1 at the end.

If you are 168.xxx.xxx.xx i think you come from singapore, and our ip are dynamic. very troublesome.

no you need to use the ipv4 ip, the last number go to ipconfig, its under the ethernet adapter local area connection:
in my case i see 192.168.1.21
therefore when i portforward, the number i use is 21. this is to tell your router which computer on your network to forward the ports through. in my case, my computer is number 21 where my parents could be number 8 and so on.

Expanding from divinesam, if it is true you are using dynamic ip address. you can check through this website http://www.mywanip.com/ if the last few numbers is changing then you gotta use this website. http://www.no-ip.org/ they will give you your own static ip address but you gotta keep a program called DUC opened. You however still need to port forward all the ports.
