external pc connections

Hi all

so i have a server up and running fine on my pc it's just for a group of friends my problem is how do i let them connect to my server on my pc ??

i gave them the client and in server.ini/newupdate files 3 in total, have tried both my internal and external ip's but it wont let them connect what else do i have to do

ps. for a test also turned off firewall and av to see if they was stopping it but no joy


thanks in advance :)

port forward your external ip:port to your internal ip:30002 ?

doesn't anyone want to share how to do this the last post wasn't clear enough info at all lol

EDIT..

So for people who also struggle with this make sure your router actualy port forwards if not you have a few options you can turn your router firewall off or you can use the dmz settings and put your machine outside the firewall if you cant port forward that is with your router

hope this helps someone atleast
