hello, i like to host dedicated servers on games. I recently aquired an orange wireless livebox, but have my computer connected to it via ethernet cable. Now it seems people cannot enter my dedicated servers, is this coincedence or is my new net setup causing this problem? can i fix it? Thanks

You'll need to setup port forwarding on your router. At the moment, all your gamers will be able to see if you router and not your PC.

Im afraid i dont know what you mean by that but thanks for the link.

No problems.

Look at it this way, can you imagine if everybody could see everybody's PC over the internet? it would be hackers paradise!! Your router assigned an internet address which can be seen over the internet. Your PC has a local (non-internet) address which cannot be seen. When you setup port forwarding, it means that your router will automatically forward any communication that the router receives on that port number, to your PC, and acts as a sort of agent is the best way I can describe it without going too deep.
