hosting a mission with a router

[_1SMV_Poppy_64]

Dear LeadFarmer,

sorry, no change... The IP is every time the local IP (LAN) and not the external IP. I checked all your instruction, no change...

Sigh...

In the confs.ini put your external IP in the IPS line and forward the port 27016 UDP and TCP to your local IP in the router. That should mean that all traffic to that port goes to your internal IP address this is for dedicated server, which you can run then join via your game either over LAN or internet, I did this and it shows up in the client under internet.

Take a look at wildWillies post getting your server to show up in steam or game browser topic. there are a few other suggestions that may work for you.
