I just can't Portforward right
Trogtor:
It has something to do with my DNS server.
When I look at other portforwarding tutorials, their DNS is some random IP.
Mine is the Default IP (192.168.1.1)
How come my DNS is the default IP?

No it isn't. It's because your router acts as a DNS proxy, for example to inject itself (usually to routerlogin.net or routerlogin.com for Netgear routers). Mine does that too. If you need to you can usually disable this feature from the router admin page.

Alright. So there was both a master server comm issue and a PF-issue.
Also, note that with some routers you might not be able to connect from within your network, although people are able to connect externally.

I know that people can't connect.
I tried to get my friends to.
I need my DNS to set up a Static IP. It says I can't use the default

That isn't your DNS, that's your DHCP.
