Hey Guys

My objective is to run the gameserver on one computer and be able to login/ play from another computer by having the gameclient on a separate computer
I followed these instructions
http://www.vbgore.com/Publishing_Your_GameI followed the instructions fully and carefully, many times, but at the port forwarding step I set up port 10200 to be opened etc etc following
http://portforward.com/english/routers/ ... efault.htm
Check the port on
http://www.canyouseeme.org/and it says : ( I could not see your service on My external ip address on port (10200)
Reason: Connection timed out)
I ran the Game Server and open the Game Client on the same computer, logged in and game client game up with an error
(Unable to connect to the Game Server! It Is Offline or not connected to the internet.)
I've also was able to connect to the account server(though only with my REAL Internal IP Address and not 0.0.0.0)

Code:
[INIT]
//This defines the ID of this server - you must change this for every server to the appropriate server number (defined below)
//This can also be defined in the server's EXE name. For example, 1.exe will force the ServerID = 1 while 3.exe will force
//the ID to 3. If the ID is defined in the EXE's name, this value is completely ignored. Using this, you can have multiple
//servers in the same directory instead of having a copy of all the files for each server.
ServerID=1
//How long a user must be idle for them to be disconnected
IdleLimit=300000
//How many milliseconds must pass with no packets being received to disconnect the client
//Helpful to find lost connections if combined with a pinging system
LastPacket=300000
//Starting position of new characters
StartPos=1-15-15
//Where characters go when they die
ResPos=1-15-15
//Port for the update server
UpdatePort=10201
//How many servers there is (as listed below)
Servers=1
[MYSQL]
//MySQL account username (default is "root")
User=root
//Password for the username specified above for the database - same as the password entered into the MySQL Instance Config
Password=test
//Name of the MySQL database (default is "vbgore")
Database=vbgore
//External IP of the MySQL host ("127.0.0.1" for hosted locally [on the same computer as the server])
Host=127.0.0.1
//Port of the MySQL database (default is "3306")
Port=3306
[SERVER1]
//Internal IP of the server (usually either 127.0.0.1 for localhost, or 0.0.0.0 for public) - public servers require correctly forwarded ports
IP=0.0.0.0
//External IP of the server (get from a site like www.whatismyip.org) - will be 127.0.0.1 if the internal IP is 127.0.0.1 and on the same computer
ExIP=( my ip found at http://whatismyipaddress.com/)
//The port of the server (between 1-65535, usually best to use numbers over 10000)
Port=10200
//The port used to communicate between other servers
ServerPort=10300
//The maximum number of users allowed on the server at once
MaxUsers=100
//Range of maps the server handles
//Map: Adds maps to the server's handle list. Either a range, number, or * (for all)
//Ex: Map=* - adds all maps to the server's handling
// Map=1 - adds map 1 to the server's handling
// Map=1-10 - adds maps 1 to 10 to the server's handling
//List is seperated by commas
//Ex: Map=1,2,5-10 - Server handles maps 1, 2 and 5 to 10
Map=*
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Two server example:
//To use this, you must copy the server files to a new directory and
//set the second server's ServerID above to 2
//This will make the first map on one server (port 10200/10300) and the
//rest on the second server on port 10203/10303
//Just uncomment the lines, and delete the lines above
//** Make sure you modify NumServers in "Init", too! **

i honestly believe that the problem is that my Router won't or can't port forward the port 10200/10300
Here is some info on my router :

if port forwarding doesnt work, then can you help me with DNS stuff? I'll start reading about it, just in case.Thank You,
