Your Server

How do I change the "192" ip address of my wireless laptop? Trouble hosting Halo Trial server.?

I have been trying to host a multiplayer game on Halo Trial (PC) but even though the server opens up no one else is able to join the server. I read somewhere that this happens if the client ip address starts with 192. How can I change this? Also, if I had to manually change the address, what number should it be, any random numbers?

1. the 192 ip is your internal ip assigned by your router.. The reason that no one can see your server listed is because you dont have the ports configured properly within your router.. There is no need to change that... It is possible but that will be purely stupid to do so.... To open your ports go to portforward.com click routers... choose your router... find halo... follow the instructions
2. If you change from192. your connection will no longer work. This is a private address needed to talk to your router. Wherever you read this, the writer has no clue what they are talking about. You need to go into configuration on the router using your web browser. Then go to virtual server and forward the ports required for the game to your existing ip address.
