    If behind a router, you can set 0.0.0.0 for the settings with your server. Your friends would connect to the IP address you see at say www.ipcow.com.
     
  3. okayy i got my ip from ipcow this one ill give it to my friend and which one should i use to put it after connect in the rust console
    thank you

    If you are hosting on the same machine, you can connect with localhost or 127.0.0.1.
     
  5. shoul i use for example my ipv4 address or my default getaway when i enter the game to connect to the server

    okay where can i get the localhost

    You type it in as you would an IP address.
    Code:
    connect localhost:28105
     
  7. so basically when i open the game i press f1 then type in connect localhost:28105 or you mean 28015 then i give my friend my ip that i found on ipcow right? but what will my friend type in the f1 console is he gonna type in connect the ip address that i found on ipcow the :28015??

    If 28015 is your port, then yes.
     
  9. okayy then im gonna try it w then ill let you know if anything happened
    thank you
    just one last thing now my default getaway ip starts 172 exactly like this ip the one that you gave me
    127.0.0.1.

    do i have to put the second ip address or just the defauly address because i wanna try both the localhost and the default one i just wanna make sure
    thank you again
