TCP/IP games help

[Keego7237]

When trying to join an IP game it asks for a source ip, host ip, and player name. What is the host ip and is it my player name?

[Keego7237]

i meant what is the source ip, i know what the host ip is

The source ip is the ip of your machine. It should be automatically be filled in. I have played several TCP games on a LAN and evertime the source IP was already filled in.

when i start it has my source ip as 10.0.0.2 but i know thats not the right IP

That's the IP your router or firewall is giving you for your home network I would guess. 10.0.0.X is a common network for most of those.

If you are running win 9X, run "winipcfg", and it will tell you what your IP is, from the perspective of people not on your LAN.

so if i turn off my firewall than will it show me my right ip?
