OK, I found the option in my router. I wanted you to look it over to make sure it looked good.

Here's the pic:

I tried enlarging the image but it didn't work. Try upload the full screenshot to a free image hosting website and then posting the link. Maybe by looking at your port forward settings we can finally conclude this thread.

OK, second time, I don't know why it didn't work before...

Here's the link:

Set your IP to dynamic, you won't be having a static IP from your ISP unless you're a business user.

Secondly, I think you need to take a screenshot of your 'Advanced Routing' tab in that setup, that's where your port forwarding will be located I assume. This is where the issue will be.

Edit: Here http://portforward.com/english/route...uble_Helix.htm

I know the link is for Soldier of Fortune II but it's the exact same setup except the ports need to change to what your server port is. It should work. If you follow all those steps and it still doesn't work then it's an issue with your PC itself, firewall I would assume.

I've already done all this, and I've been told to set a static IP... I just needed approval that I did it right.

Be careful XStar not to confuse which IP you want to make static! You might give yourself internet difficulties!

I just needed approval that I did it right.

With the screenshot you provided, this would make your internet IP static, which wouldn't work like Danny described in his previous post. No-IP handles this instead.

Instead, we was looking to make a static IP for your server PC, you know the 192.168.2.104 IP? It might be under "Address Reservation" or "LAN Setup", but not under your Internet Setup, since that may potentially wipe out internet for your household.

If you're still struggling to find it, try googling your make and model of the router, I'm sure there's a page which will guide you.

So, should I do this:

Open Network and sharing center

Select "Change adapter settings" from the right side of the window

Right click on your active network connection and select "properties"

Select "Internet protocol Version 4 (tcp/ip)" and click the properties button.

Change you address assignment to "Use the following IP address"

Enter the free IP address you found earlier in the IP address. The subnet of your network (according to your router) is 24bit so enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet. For the gateway this will be the router address so enter 192.168.0.1 there.

For DNS enter the IP of the router also as most routers will handle your DNS requests also. You wont have/need a secondary DNS server so you can leave that blank.

"OK" all of the open windows.

No, you'd go to your router settings and go to the LAN Settings/Address Reservation part. Mine looks like this.

[XStar]

I don't have that exactly... But I do have this:

Is this the right thing?

[lh37]

Mine looks like this.

LB, your router is similar to mine! (Different model, but same interface)

XStar, I've searched top to bottom in the User Manual (for a Linksys Router, might not be specifically your model) and couldn't find the relevant feature we're looking for (may be that particular model though.)

User Manual for a WRT54GL: http://www.airospot.net/WRT54GL-UserManual.pdf

It may be under DHCP Settings or under Static Routes, but I couldn't find anything in the manual which was specifically enabling you to make a static LAN connection. What's your model specifically and please could you link us a manual?
