how do i find my own server's IP / port
« on: August 19, 2006, 07:39:31 pm »
I've been playing with some friends recently over the internet, but sometimes we have trouble finding the server that was created. We check selfkill and also the ingame lobby and sometimes it takes us a while to get it started. So my question is, how does the creater of the server find out his own IP address and port # so it's easier for other people to join in?

any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Tells you your external IP. If you create a server on your computer, the external IP that site gives you is the IP your friends will need.

I don't know what port is. Maybe default, I don't really know. :P

Well if you run it dedicated, go to the server lobby and click your server, the I.P and Port appear in the slots..
