Default Re: Linux Admining

Thats a problem on all machines. Especially the windows ones.

The game sets itself up with the local machines address which is all that it can easily "see". If no other address is set for the machine, it will not create one for itself.

However, usually external addresses work fine for reaching it. Just go ahead and try it. For the windows users we usually have them use their browser from that machine to visit a site such as WhatIsMyIP.com to find out what address is being seen by the internet. Giving that address to players will usually let them find the game ok
