Is it possible to use multisync to connect to another computer using its physical IP(e.g. http://www.whatsmyip.org/)

Yes, under the following conditions:
- Multisync-based server is hosted in the target IP
- The target IP address is assigned as public by the ISP
- The server must directly connected to the internet. If its connection is splitted by a router, make sure that you know how to do port forwarding.

Okay so i think the port forwarding is my problem. well i noticed that even though i call NetSetPort(1337); The clients connect through two(usually consecutive) unregistered ports. (eg.60164,60165)

Edit: I forwarded ports 60000 to 65535 and successfully connected to myself via Physical IP

Edit Edit: Server Log on Successful connect. NetSetPort(60000) Called on both sides

You can only (and only need to) set the server's local port, and this is the port that clients will send data on. The local port of the clients doesn't matter.

What I meant was that NetSetPort sets the server's local port and the client's remote port (the port the client sends the data to).
