Hi
Ive been to www.whatsmyip.com and typed that in but I still cannot connect to my server, that I am hosting locally. However, if I use my local IP (the one that comes up when I right click on the server Icon), I can connect but others cannot.
Help?

LAN = Local area network
WAN = Wide area network ( www.whatismyip.com )

People on your LAN need your LAN ip to connect.
People outside of it need your WAN.

That means that if the people don't live with you, they need your WAN.
You need your LAN because your inside your network.

Give people your WAN to connect
Use your LAN to connect.

Ah thank you.
So I just give them what it says on www.whatsmyip.com and connect using my own local address.
thanks.

I assume that by LAN addr you mean like 192.168....

Is it just your brother that can't connect or can no1 else connect?
Can he connect to other servers?

No-one can connect to mine besides me.
And yes, he can connect to those.
