Awesome! I worked my ASS off! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Here is what I did:
Ordered Business class Cablemodem service (much faster)
Ordered 1 IP (which is 24.129.134.18)
Bought a Linksys Router (4 port)
BUT, I can't get it to work like the following:
1. Cat5 goes from cablemodem to router WAN, then port 1 goes to IW server and Port 2 goes to my home PC. Even if I USE the router, it won't work..
So I have the cat5 coming out of the cablemodem right to the IW server.
What I wanted to do was the above. Now, I'm not the best at setting up networks.. but geez. I thought this would work.. I figured all I would need was 1 IP and I could bluff the other server with a 198.0.0.1 or something.
SO... I ordered another IP, so I can get work done on my other PC, and so they can talk.. this ALSO means, I can have a NWN server running [img]smile.gif[/img]
It's getting pricy, but I've gotten help from many great folks that donated.. whew!! [img]smile.gif[/img] An extra IP costs $25 (I think a Month too) .. ugh. Anyway, right now, I don't care, it's covered for atleast 3 Months, so we're sweet for now!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
This is FUN! Since the IW server is here at home, I can watch stuff in real-time! Muhahahah! [img]smile.gif[/img]
