Edit the config's to your external IP...forward ports...

Kinda off topic...but you bought an alienware PC?

There are a several guides for this.
Did you try to search or browse the forum? ^.^

...
Kewl desktop, is it fake or "the real deal"?

^^, yea there are alot of guides.
Then: your ports you have to open in your router config. That box between you and the interned : >

If You're using ascent , You might have to edit some things in here ( I'll show you which ones ) :

<Realm1 Name = "****" <-- This one you may edit to whatever u want to, Just keep the name within the " ".
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129" <-- This one you will have to Edit
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

To Change the adress here, go to to, a, free, ip, and, 2, consolidation, My IP, What is my ip, Refinance, Mortgages and copy that IP and put it here, or an adress from No-ip.com , That works for me atleast.

hi.. (first actually help post... so i hope its helpful lol )

although there are tons of guides for this.. here is a quicky I hope can help.
You need to do a couple things first:

1. Obvious, but needs to be said. TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL. Unless your good at exceptions for your particular software.
2. You need to edit your host file (see below)
3. go to Whats My Ip - write it down
4. Go to DyDNS - There are others no-ip is another popular one. Make your self a free account and put in that ip you wrote down. Now when users type in your dydns address it will take you to your system. Now I don't remember if you have to reboot or not to take effect, however, knowing windows, I'm sure you have to.

EDITING YOUR HOST FILE:
This is a little confusing but just follow along :-)

• go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc directory
  there is a file in there called host. open it with a text editor
  
• everything in there that is preceeded with a # sign is a comment. its ignored.
• What you are going to do is tell your computer what your outside ip is and what its assigned to: to do this first type in your ip address, a space then your dydns address you just made from above.
  example1: external ip dydns address
  example2: 123.45.678.90 mymadeup-name.ath.cx

This is a very condensed version - but if you get lost check around here for some better guides. I use Hamachi, there is an extra step but I like it because its simpler to set up. The down side is that your users need to down load it to and join your network.

If your stuck email me, I'll check my system (its not up anymore, but the files are still there :-)

Also as a final note, you will not be able to see your site locally because it will take you to your router. There are two ways to view it. ONE, have a friend check it out and TWO google free proxy surfing and log on your site that way.

one small adjustment from the previous post
you'll need 2 entries
it has to be labled Realmx where x = the number of realms
I usualy keep 2. One for local and one for everyone else.

Code:

---

<Realm1 Name = "Local Realm"
Address = "localhost:8129" <-- This one is for you to log in locally
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1"> <-- does anyone know how the color and tz works???

<Realm2 Name = Badass Server" <-- Note the Realm "2"
Address = "[ip from whatsmyip.org]:8129" <-- Put your EXTERNAL IP here
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

---

then change the following:
(btw, noob stuf 127.0.0.1 is the same as localhost - you may see that in guides. both of them work)

Code:

---

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "logon"
RealmCount = "1">

---

to

Code:

---

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "logon"
RealmCount = "2"> <-- This number matches how many realms you have.

---

Ok I hope that extreeeeeemly scaled down version helped someone. To you guru's, If I missed something cut in
