you have to foward all the ports that the mir server uses

do the following:

1. install mir server
2. foward all appropiate ports
3. set up DMZ host on router to your IP computers network IP
(to find out your computers ip click start/run type in CMD then type in ipconfig)
4. download a server launcher.. look about on forums there are some great ones going
use it to change the IP address in all the files to your normal internet IP address not your computer network IP.
5. start server after saving all files. (Bare in mind only outside of the router players can get in) - (for yourself and other people to get in you need to add a route)

to add a route go into command prompt again (click start/run type CMD) then type in the following

route ADD xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MASK xxx.xxx.xxx.255 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx METRIC 1

the first set of x's = your internet IP address the set of x's after MASK are the first 3 combination of numbers also from your internet IP address.. the last set of x's is your computers IP address

if you need more help i am willing to write a full guide with images later on and will post on forums

(i just want to say thanks to thedeath for the adding routes malarky :D)

196.168.0.2 or 196.168.1.1 or 196.168.1.2

Already got it. All that does is chnage what IP address the LOM server 'listens' on. By default a lot of server files have it set to 127.0.0.1 which is the 'localhost' address. This is fine but you can only play from the same PC in that case. :-( I have set my box to an internal IP 192.168.0.x and now I need to know what ports to forward through from my router using NAT. This way everyone can play it!
