Evertyme i try to start a server its local but i don't click lan and even all right ports are open. I followed every step in your manual but it starts local again.. with my local ip. But why?

ok its not local but you cannot but if anyone trys to join me, he only saw my local adress and the game has no direct ip join function.. which is a bit lame...

ok i tried to start another games server and it started also local. i don't know why. That is strange. What could that be?

Every server that is on your network will show up under the "local" header no matter what.

There is a direct connect command to connect by IP address. Press F1 to open the console and then type connect <ip>:<port> where IP is dot separated by byte I.E 75.102.27.114.

You're server logs will warn you if we think you're behind a firewall.

Ok a console command. But the strange thing is that other player also see my local IP adress if they want to join me about the friends-list. Also the server is not shown in the server list, but perhaps the master server needs some time to show my server. So i am not sure about that.

But i'll try it. I'll hope that works
