so i was wondering cause i tried to host a dierct connection game how do I tell what my Ip adress is so people can join.
http://www.whatsmyip.org/ (http://www.whatsmyip.org/) top box of that site is your IP
should be in network under system settings
when your on swbf, when you click internet, lan, dc, it should say in top left corner.
That's your internal IP. People can't join to that one.
Your IP is 72.192.189.181
thanks ill write it down so ill wont forget.
props to jedi for getting chaos' IP address without needing that site's response :cheers:
he wants this because he's banned on legends and he's trying to change his IP..
no so i can play with pc people
changing his IP wont get him into legends.
Regardless of his motives, his question was how to find out his IP address. That question is solved for him.
for any pc users wondering. Your ip can easily be found by typing ipconfig in a command prompt.
Your Ip is not the same as my Ip. Ip on trees, near bushes, on fire hydrants and just about anywere I want.

Actually, no. That will only display your internal IP, I believe. To find your external IP, just ask me or go to one of the sites that tells you.
External Ip is ideal. When Ip internally in my shorts it is embarrassing.

umm....what?
When Ip internally in my shorts = When I pee in my shorts
Peeing in shorts is embarassing.
BTW, learning your IP is only the first step to hosting a direct connection. I hope you will be able to figure it out because it's always nice to have DC hosters around :)
i have a question. Since most people dont change their ip addresses wouldnt that mean that several DC's would have a ip address of 192.168.1.2 or 10.0.1.1 (depending on router)? or are those, once again, internal ip addresses?
Those are internal, Many people have their IP change every so often, ATM your IP is 74.177.136.40, it might not be next week, the way this doesn't happen is if you have a static IP.
My internet resets every 24 hours, and my IP chooses to change sometimes when it does.
Very few service providers give static external IPs. They tend to use Dynamic IPs that change when their lease runs out. A static Internal IP though is needed to host. AS you have to Port FOrward to a specific IP that doesn't change. If the Internal IP keeps changing you need to keep changing the Port Forward details to match the new IP.
Ha ha ! I keep Reading this topic as 'ipad-dress', just to let you know..
k, thanks for the info. I heard this in comp networking in school. probably was asleep tho
