Ok, I have found out the answer to some of my questions. To the only real question that I can think of now is this. I am going to type diagram it because that is the easiest for my now.(sorry but a little tired right now)


My computer_________________
Another Computer that Controls the Internet and that I recieve my DSL From.

My question is, what IP address do I give to my friends so they can access my Server? Also are there any specifics about how this is setup with ports that I should know. Thanks.

(also the setup ports would have to be for my computer or both my computer and the computer that runs the internet off of?)

1) why do you double post ? Deleted your second post !
2) This IP (http://www.whatismyip.com) must be used by your freinds. But make sure your DSL router forwards the TS server port to the LAN IP of your PC hosting the server. The required ports are mentioned in the FAQ

It was a mistake to do a double post. I meant to do the first one in Server and missed and did it in client. Real sorry about that. Thanks alot for the help.

I already know the required ports. Now I use 2Wire, by any chance if it is not asking to much how do I make it forward the ports to my computer. I am iffy on that subject. I believe it is when we go to the 2wire settings. Select (this computer) then add a new specific port openings. With port 8767 to be UDP and not TCP. But port 14534 and 5123 are both TCP. Just need to clarify that. Also it is possible with 2wire to add a new program that has multiple ports or do I have to add three for each port? Thanks very much.
