ScinteX 0 Posted September 20, 2004 hey yoep, welcome Your mate is right.... but maybe wrong also! Simply speaking your router (that no doubt has an ADSL modem built in) has the public IP that your ISP gives you. Your PC now has a private IP and is most probably something like 192.168.0.X. There are others like 10.XXX.XXX.XXX - this depends on your specific hardware (and thus, Class). Anyhow, this doesnt always cause problems but can do in some games. Personally I have no problems running any games in multiplayer with my router- I mean without having to tinker with things (they just work). Have a look at this and this. You may have to open up some ports on the router. Also note that apparently NAT isnt offically supported. Share this post Link to post
