Need help with my routing (I think??) :(
#16
But I cannot move the router from my room, I am the only one in my appartment that knows anything about networking, network security, etc. Maybe I will just get a switch/hub? That way I can have a router on one port, and the server PC on the other? Would that work/make sense??

Thanks again for the help!

Not really... All a switch would do is share the connection, which is not necessary.

We never asked what your bandwidth speed was at your apartment. Could you tell us that?

Also, you talked about having much more bandwidth at home, maybe you could run the server there?

Hope this helps!

Actually the reason its not working is simple his network is setup to run the server on a private ip aka the internal ip of his apartment network 192.168... when the server starts with its internal ip your router forwards those ports to that ip address hince connection to anyone inside your apartment complex. However in order to reach the outside the startup line would need to use the private ip within his apartment complex. aka 10.0.142.. but since this is not working. The switch might be an effective idea because a switch does not hold an ip address it merely acts as a passthrough. What thatwould do is allot there router (the apartment complex) to assign each one of your pc's in your apartment an ip address similar to the 10.142.. address. this will only work is the connection coming in is an ethernet cable setup.
