I could do with some help....
When I choose 'host' to host a race, the only ip I can select
is 192.168.0.2 which is my machines local ip. Fine if I want
to race on the lan, but not much use otherwise, because no
one from an external address can connect to me.
Is there a way around this, so that I can choose to accept
incoming connections on my gateway (192.168.0.1), or my
external IP address?
btw. I'm using a Netgear RT314.
Thanks for any info :^)
What you need to do is set up port forwarding on your router. On my Netgear
RP114 router I went to the router admin page, went to the Advanced tab then
to Ports. Under Ports I have forwarded the range 6968 to 6972 and 32765 to
32810 to my race server PC. I found it best to assign static IP addresses to
my PC's and to switch off the DHCP server in my router. I also had to make
sure that my firewall software on each PC was set up properly. Once I had
done this I was able to host on one PC and race on another.

Ok, cheers Phil, I'll give it a shot.
My pc's are already static IPeed, and DHCP is off. I'll disable the
firewall to eliminate that, but is there any reason for these particular
ports?
