Server only visible for me on masterlist

[Z-Man]

I see two open spots for imbound port ....or the private port.

Type the port(s) specified by the program manufacture for both of the Inbound port fields
Type the port(s) specified by the program manufacture for both of the Private port fields.

That would be 4534 in all four fields.

and i dont know what to do with the private ip address

Private IP address: Enter the IP address of the computer you want grant access too.

So the IP of your server machine.

ok thx z. one last thing, I believe that the last few digits of the IP can be anything from 1 - 3000(something), so what digits would be best to use?

[Z-Man]

You need to configure the router to give your server a fixed IP, or configure the server to take a fixed IP and not fetch one from the router. Then you enter that one.

Hmm, idk how to do that but I just started using linux. Are the linux servers easier or difficult?

[AI-team]

OS does not matter, it's all about your router and its settings

[NIVEK]

Alright well, I still don't know how to set up the right IP address for it

[Z-Man]

Try this:

Ok, so since that website does not have information on Linux, and the information I found left to many gaps, maybe it would be easier to configure the server to take a set ip. Could you help me with that?

[Z-Man]

I can't walk you through it any better than the last link does, sorry. I can try to answer specific questions and fill in the gaps, but you'll have to name them.

Personally, I didn't bother setting up any static IPs on my current devices and use a function on my router instead: it allows me to assign static IPs to clients based on the hostname they're reporting or their MAC address. Maybe your router has such a thing, too, but I wouldn't be able to help there.
