Network Configuration

The network at your end has an inartnel or local IP every device attached to your local IP must have different IP's. The devices attached to your local network will have an octet sequence such as 192.xxx.xxx.xxxThis sequence forms the IP's of your local network.Now the router also has an IP which identifies you to your ISP.You can log into the router and see it's local web page by keying in the IP that was assigned by the ISP if the IP is dynamic the this IP can change for various reasons. If Static the IP will always be the same. If you are going to be a host then you want to request a static IP. This static IP will then be your public IP so that the outside world can reach you to access the devices attached to your local network. Such as the virtual server. Think long and hard about security. I strongly recommend putting the game side on a separate system.
