looks like you have your box behind a router.
if so u can but your box in the DMZ just put a good firewall on if you do so or you can setup portforwading to allow user to connect to you. Im not to good with portforwarding but there are great guides to help you with it.

ive done the port fowarding, the ports i mentioned are fowared to 192.168.1.4 (the comp with the server).

and what is DMZ

[snafu]

dang that was fast. DMZ is demiliterized zone. pretty much most routers have it. its where you put the ip for your box only one can go and its on the net 24-7 and can be accessed from anyone.
thats why you have to change policies and put up firewalls.

no idea what u just said but heres a pic... and also i got zonealarm but that isnt interfering cos i shut it down :)

when i give em that followed by :28960 they cant see it? a computer on my network can see the game under local but not internet, whats going on, ive got set dedicated 2 in the shortcut thing so its dedicated interenet

[snafu]

hmm, i just checked my server and its doing the same thing as yours is. let me research some more and see what is going on.
