Dedicated Server Question

If im hosting an internet server can i use my internal ip address???

If you're on the same subnet then you can, but people outside of that subnet (ie internet users) will need the public IP

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
How do i apply a public IP to my server?

[FunkY]

Go to What's my IP? which will tell you what your IP is. You shouldn't need to add any instructions to make the server use the IP provided you have everything forwarded properly, however in case you do need to add the line (for instance if you want to force it to use a particular port) you'll need to add to the command line

+set net_ip 123.123.123.123:28960

(replacing the 123s with your own IP, and the 28960 with whichever port you want to use).

Ok, i did what you told me to do but when i open the console and type in connect then the IP it just times out

What do you do? You read this thread

Use localhost, not your IP address.

[FunkY]

Use localhost, not your IP address.

What he said. You use your local host IP because you're on the same network, people outside the network use the public IP
