The default port range is 2300-2400. It uses both TCP and UDP (but mostly UDP). You can change it with:

Quote:


-port number
Through this command line option, a port address for TCP/IP client/server communication can be given. Valid ports are in the range 2300..2400. If no port is given, a default port address is assigned. A port address can only be given for the server - the client will connect to the right port automatically.






So set port forwarding to send these through your router to the server.

As far as the client goes, you have to specify the IP address via -IP


Quote:



-ip name
Through the -IP command line option the server name, the server's machine name, domain name or IP address can be given when starting a client in multiplayer mode. Example:

acknex office -cl -ip 169.254.73.28

connects to the server with the given IP address on the network or internet. The given name or address is available during gameplay in the predefined server_name string. If this command line option is not given, the server will be searched on the local network.





If you are trying to get the game to display the internet IP vs the Local IP, I don't know that it can be done.

10,000 parts flying in a close formation does not constitute an airplane. Some assembly is required.
