Thats a local address, go to start run cmd

type:

ipconfig /all

Your real internet ip will show up different, thats the one peopl eneed to use to connect to your server.

Click

Use that one

There are 3 sets of IP addresses which are only ever used on local networks, and cannot transmit across the internet. They were specially reserved for this purpose, and most networking hardware 'knows' not to pass any data from these IP addresses out to the wider networks.

the ranges are:
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.0.0
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0

As you can see, the IP address you states falls into the third set.

The link soapboy provided will show you what your 'real' internet IP address is.

Hope that makes sense.

OR...



192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

If i host a dedicated server am i able to play on it? or is it just so other people can play on it but not me?

there's a plethora of reasons why you will fail at this.
Google Quake3, NAT and whatever model of router you're using. Just like that, "whatever model of router you're using." It's possible there's an old dirty article in the past on this board here (it's been topiced like once or twice), so a search might do you good here, also.

Yep you can play on the server. Just load up another copy of quake, go to the console, and enter:
/connect localhost

This will connect to the server running on your PC. 'localhost' is a reserved word which basically points back to your own PC.

ok thanks
