Hi guys,
I have a problem with my router, I would like to play C&C generals with a friend over the internet via Direct Connect. Well, then I would need an IP number wouldn\'t I?
I could just use the IP provided to me from the router, but that\'s someting like 192.168.0.1 that\'s an internal IP number, and not useable for Direct Connect; if I go to www.whatsmyip.org and use the IP provided there generals still doensn\'t work!
What IP should I use...?

thanks in advance

!!! Jurgen

Something that's often baffled me as well..
I think your suppose to use the Leased IP from your Cable/DSL Modem.
As that automatically is the same for all the computers on your network (so if you want more than one internal in the game you have to connect via LAN).

But I'm not sure, so just give it a try.
