Hello.
I have been trying to run a server many times to test my wad with other people.
First I just tried it without doing anything and I got a message that I am not forwarding the port 10666 on my router.
So... I learned how to forward ports (I hope correctly), and I did, but it still keeps giving me the same message! I have tried it so many times both with Server Wizard and ZSL!
I can see the server in the server list ("Country" being "LAN") and I can join, but apparently noone else can.
Could you please try to help me?
My router is TL-WR741N and this is how I have it set up now:

I'd be very glad for any help as I am beginning to lose faith in ever being able to do it...

What are your router's and computer's internal (LAN) IP addresses?

I am kind of a computer noob, so I'll write a translation of what I see when I type ipconfig into CMD:
IPv4 adress: 192.168.1.101
/something/ mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gate: 192.168.1.1

if that's any help.

The numbers look OK and consistent with the screenshot; the only thing that comes to mind is the windows firewall blocking the server. Perhaps disable it temporarily to see if that's the case; and if it *is* the case, then make sure to tell windows to open port 10666.

no one else can join because thats private IP space that only shows up to you and people inside your network.

You have to advertise your external IP and setup some sort of dmz on your router to point towards the machine your server is running on.

Your router hase a publicly addressed IP meaning we can see it, you must access your router and see what this IP is and possibly forward your port that the server is running on.

_Beast_: he IS advertizing the server to the master since he received a message about not forwarding the port (that's our automated connectivity check). There is no need for him to setup a DMZ when he only needs to forward a port; his screenshot (and LAN IP info) indicates that he's doing the forwarding. That's why I suggested a firewall problem.

Vojife: contact me on IRC when you can; it might be easier debugging this live.
