My little brother got a router hooked up to the pc(for his ps2 online)and it messed up my pc somehow heres what happens: Whenver i want to host a small game of q3 with someone, i go get my ip,and instead of giving me my ip, it gives me the routers ip, so im thinking maybe that should work for them! BUT! they are unable to connect STILL!
So i go to some " whats my ip number" website, and it gives me my real ip number, I give my friend that number... AND HE STILL CANT CONNECT?!?!?! WTF! HELP BEFORE I TAKE A HAMMER TO THIS ROUTER!!!
The server you're setting up is ALWAYS a local one...That's because you're behind a router ;D To solve this problemo you need to set up port-forwarding. Here is a link to the D.o.D's forum dod.kicks-ass.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi, ask messiah to help you...he helped me out with THE SAME problem...
