mvp 2005 with router , hosting question

[SkywayTA]

A friend and I play mvp 2005 over direct ip play. I have a router at home and I cant seem to host. My router assigns me an ip of something like 192.68.1.1 , but if I go to ip chicken website it tells me my real ip number. A friend tried to connect to my real ip, and the 192.168.1.1 ip and he cant connect to either. My question is , How do i host a direct ip game with my router :?: :!: :?:

You have to setup port forwarding. The ports MVP uses are...

TCP: 80 and 443

UDP: 10001

Checkout this site, find your router model, it'll give you a short step-by-step on how to set it up.

So nice of MVP to tell us completely different nos. in the back of the manual. So then once the port nos. are set up correctly, I assume the joining party comes in and uses the dynamic IP, no the static 192.68.1.1.

So does one set the range as 80 TO 443 .... or.... set it 80-80 and 143-143??

edit: nm, that link above was great! thx!
