Is there any way to get a free ip adress that will connect my players to my online game for free? I was planning on keeping the server up on my computer....
ps- I thout 127.0.0.1 would work, but it didnt...
please help!

I don't know if this is what you mean... you can google what's my ip and you'll find your ip. This is for a MPOG or 2-way game?

its still not working...
I ttried the what's my ip thing, and it doesn't work...
I can log on fine, but when my friend's try to log on, it says "unable to connect to server"

You can log on fine using what... what's my ip or a server ip???

Are you behind a router?

im using any ip i can find on my comp and it works for me, but not others.
please help! >.<

um I have just turned off firewall, still doesn't work.

someone please respond, i really want to fix this <.<

I find my ip address by doing this...

1. Hit start then run.

2.
-----A. For win 95/98 type in "winipcfg".
-----B. For win ME/2000/xp type in "ipconfig".

3.hit run and see your ip address.
That might help if what's my ip does not work right.
otherwise I cant help.

I think I got the ip adress right, it's just that people cannot join for some reason!!

A goof website for ip address is ipchicken but you probably don't need to find it anymore so meh.

http://www.ipchicken.com

wat exactly would I do with those numbers (where would I put it??)
Also, If i make it a local network, wat would happen?

I have a question, in the client, in the code, should I put in the server's IP adress or the player who is playing's ip adress?

you must use the ip of the server. If a player wants to connect to your
server, he must use your ip to connect, and you must tell him what is
your ip. To find your ip use www.whatismyip.com


192.0.0.1 is the ip of your computer, if you are making a game and you
want to test it, open the server program and host the game, then open
the client program and connect it to the ip "192.0.0.1" or to "localhost".

novaz, can I send you the gm6 for the server and client and tell me what I am doing rong? I did what you said, IT STILL says when other people log on; "unable to connect to server"

please responds, i want to connect it online by today >.<
