Help Portforwarding

[Placid]

Yes, I know there's a stickied topic for Mac's about port forwarding.
When I open airport, the IP adresses I give it don't work. Does it have to be a LAN IP address or not?

No, I was able to host at my friend's house the other day. I just have cable and need to portforward.

Yes it does have to be a LAN IP.

Okay, and where would I find that, if you would be so kind?

[Chrono]

For Macs, I have no damn clue.

:c

I'll google it

I've figured it out.

(Apple icon thingy)>System Preferences...
In the Internet & Network section click the Network icon.
Goto probably built in, and click configure.

It should show you right there.

uhh..

It has quite a few things.
Let's see..
IPv4 Address
Subnet mask
Router address - I have tried this multiple times, hasn't worked.
DNS servers

Some more stuff, but I can't be bothered to explain them all.

Let's see..
IPv4 Address - Your IP address that you need for port forwarding (I guess the static IP or whatever if your trying to set that up)
Subnet mask - Not really sure but when I port forwarded it asked for it
Router address - The IP address of your Router
DNS servers - Has to do with your internet connection through your router I think

Just trying to help. And I got a windows not a mac so I don't know where you have to put this stuff but all the names are the same as windows.

[Chrono]

Use the v4 address.

DNS Server is your domain name server which is for viewing domain names rather than inputting IPs

It's actually about the ISP.

DNS = your worst nightmare as a domain owner

And the password that I need is the network password. Correct?
