Hi, I go to your server quite frequently and happened to remember the address to this site on the connect screen.

I figured this may be a good place to ask my question.

Could someone please connect to this address, 192.168.1.101

I just need to know if it works or not, post back your results.

Thanks,
-Korbin

HI!

That looks like an internal lan (router) address. You have to use your wan (external) address. Are you trying to run a server? If so, I think I can help.

Type of router?
Type of modem (cable or dsl)?
Upload speed?
Download speed?
Static or dynamic (stays the same or changes)?

Yes, I'm trying to run a server.

For my router, I'm on a wireless connection and my router is down stairs (just in case that matters) but my router is a wireless Linksys.
Modem: Cable
Upload speed: How can I find this out?
Download speed: How can I find this out?
Dynamic.

And thank you so much for helping.

Helpful links:
Find upload/download speed. Used to figure out how many players can be on the server: http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/bandwidthup.asp
Not really needed but good to know sometimes. Used to figure out what your external IP is: http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/

Since you have a dynamic IP address, you will need to get DNS service, don't worry, it's free.
https://www.dynu.com/

You download a little program that detects when your IP changes and then sends a signal to the Dynu server. To connect to your server, players can enter an address like "coolserver.dynu.com:27960" an they will connect even if the IP changes.

Download speed: 475 kilobits per second

So how many people?

And I'll download the DNS thing tommorow and there's a few more questions I would like to ask and stuff. But I have to go, so we can continue this tommorow, thanks again!

EDIT: And my IP address is 65.25.94.62
