How to host shogun MP Games.

This also means that
your local machine has a different IP.

OK. But how do I find out what IP adress my local machine has?

[R'as al Ghul]

You have to run the program "Ipconfig".
Open the command line tool.
This has to be somewhere in your start menu.
If you don't find it, open the "Run"-menupoint
and type cmd into it. Hit return. A window with black
background should open, offering a commandline.
Enter "ipconfig" without "".
The first line in return shows your IP.
This IP needs to be entered instead of the one
already showing in the router interface screeny.

However there's one issue with this,
atm I've no idea if your machine keeps this
number or is assigned a different one by the router
every time (once per day). So this might work only
one time for you.
But I promise you drisos, as soon as I find it out,
I'll do everything to get your machine to do what
mine does.

Thanks for all the help R'as! I really appriciate you taking the effort to help this tech-noob out. I hope we both solve the hosting problems.



I'll try now.

I used 'run' from the start menu and typed 'ipconfig'

some screen appeared, with a black background and some text. Problem is, it disappears after less then a second and I can't read that fast.

Any other method? Or a way not to let the screen dissappear right away?

[R'as al Ghul]

You're almost there.
Use "run" again and type "cmd".
The black window opens and stays open.
Now enter "ipconfig".
When done hit the "X" of the window to close.
Entering "exit" may also work.

[Drisos]

So:

1) enter "cmd" in "run"

what should happen then?

2) enter "ipconfig" in "run"

-when i enter after typing "cmd", there is a message 'the program (or some parts of it) could not be found. Check if the path is right and if the necessary library's are there'

-after that, instantly "ipconfig" appears in "run" but it still disappears when i run it

sorry for my lacking english. I got that message in dutch and couldn't translate it better.

in that case search for the file:
cmd.exe
(between hidden files & system too) and launch it manually.
