Portforward does not work you can use dynamic IP Address

[PakistaniBaba]

Port forward will work on your IP Hostname
PM me your IP i will send you hostname then enjoy !!
But Hostname will work if you have router!!

Sign up to no-ip, there is no point in pointing a hostname to a dynamic IP if it's going to change. Don't let anyone else set it up, you need to be the one with the no-ip client on your computer.

Yes, but you need to install the no-ip client to keep your dynamic IP updated. Some routers also have this feature...

If you contact your ISP requesting a static ip address, they will[well, at portugal, they do this]
1) Set the static ip
2) Next internet invoice will have a extra charge, related to static ip allocation.

If you want to host your server, just simply buy a game server in a server hosting provider, or buy a vps / dedicated server, and configure it in your own.

Home networks are the worst thing to host servers on.
