Hello, I've searched through the forums and couldn't find this problem, and on the internet i found an unresolved thread, but if this is somewhere else, i don't mean to spam.
So, I'm behind a router, but the DMZ host is pointed at my server, and i have a DNS so people can publically join my server. Everything works great except the fact that people on my friends list can't connect through me. I have the host file in my system32/drivers/etc folder point to the DNS ip so i can add the DNS ip to my favorites, but when I view the game, it shows the ip as the LAN one. I can never connect through my server publically, only locally. It's just frustrating when I tell people to join and they cant join through me . I was wondering if anybody knows a way around this, server or client side? Thanks.
