What's The IP address?

[Avairion]

Hey, i've finally battled through my uncles wireless to open port 7777, but it says i also need to know the IP address of where im sending it to, if its TCP, UCP or both, which port to send from and which to send to. Any help please? thanks, Max xx

  Once again, and again, and again:

You do not need to open your own Port 7777!

You only need to be able to connect the game server via UDP at its distant port 7777. It is unimportant which local port is used to do that, it may always be a random one - your firewall should per default be able to remember to listen at the same port which was used to send packets to the game server (laanx.fragnetics.com or planeshift.ezcpusa.com).

okay let's try it this way.
basics this assumes a router with an external ip of 169.254.42.24.

port opening: what it says on the tin.  you are opening a port in a firewall to allow connections in and out on that port. for example port 80, the default for webbrowsing. closeing this port means that you will not be able to browse the internet through your browser of preference. opening means you will be able to

port forwarding: what it says on the tin. you are forwarding any connection that arrives on a certain port to a given ip address and port on the inside. for example ports 80, 81,83,42. we set these to forward to 192.168.0.2,192.168.0.3,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.4 respectively and all to port 80. now this means that if someone connects to you on your external ip on port 80, then any connections are then forwarded to the internal ip of 192.168.0.2 and port 80 on that box. and similar with the other 4.

port forwarding is used if you are hosting a server behind a router. if you don't set up port forwarding, and somebody tries to connect on say port 80, your router will respond with something along the lines of "that's nice you want to connect on that port. but i don't have anything on that port. have a nice day."

now that out of the way. judging by the question and the details that you are giving it sounds like you are in the port fowarding screen of the router. if you are not setting up a server then you do not need to do be there. at the least you should be in the firewall section of the router, assuming it has one. check there to see if there are any ports that are blocked.

but in one sentence. port forwarding is not port opening.
