Would anyone happen to know how to foward a computer's IP address through a router? I need someone to be able to see my computer's IP address and not my router's IP address. Any help, even a place to look for info would be greatly appriciated.

I don't think you can do that...but www.whatismyip.com and www.whatismyip.org will give you your IP.

Im positive that it can be done. Someone did it for me before. That is a usefull website though Travis. Thanks.

Can't you forward the port that they would be trying to get the info through?

http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

I wouldn't be sure what port it would be though/

I think that site just might be what Im looking for. I'll check it out. Thanks Gargar. Anyone else?

Well, that might work if yer trying to do that...when you're on a router, the router is also a firewall...if you run a CS server, you tell it what ports to use, and the client uses those ports..basically, a port forwarding is like a door in a solid wall.

Thats kind of what Im trying to do. I am trying to get my TS server back up, but the router is sending out its IP and blocking anyone from joining. So maybe I can just port forward like you said.

[Gargar]

yep port forwarding will fix that as travis said your router is just acting as a firewall and blocking them from connecting to your computer.
