[amirab]

f it didn't work then use http://192.168.1.1/

[Colonel]

Do I need a router to port forward?

[Colonel]

Can anyone answer me please? do I need a router?

[Nixtren]

What do you use for connecting to the internet? 3G/4G mobile broadband? A cable modem?

Edit: You don't type your "default gateway address", you type your external IP. You can check it here:

I don't understand, please explain more.
Also guys what's Microsoft SQL Server?

Reboot your router and try again.

Hey,

You want a quick test to really see what's the problem? Temporarily disable your Windows Firewall (or any other firewall(s) you might have active). Also, what happens if you access the IP 127.0.0.1? That is your local IP and is only accessible to you. If you can't access it, you haven't configured your server properly. Also, are you trying to run a SA-MP server or an HTTP server?

[saffierr]

Goto Start, search for 'Command prompt'
Typ in 'ipconfig'
Type the 'Default Gateway' in the internet adress.
That should work.

Nixtren, do I am trying to run a SA-MP server, what do you mean by HTTP server? also is there any configurations I need to add to that server.cfg? like announce or something? because when I type that IP nothing shows. Also sorry SA:MP for double post, I am new.

[Colonel]

HTTP server is a server that shows a website. You're trying to run a SA-MP server, so putting your IP in your browser (****** Chrome I guess?) won't show anything, because you don't want to show/see a website. Can you connect your SA-MP server locally? If you don't know how, add this IP to your favourite server list: 127.0.0.1:7777
(And make sure in server.cfg the port is set to 7777)

You don't have a router, you have a modem. No problem on that, it's actually easier.

So, I need to know if you already know how to connect to your SA-MP server locally (127.0.0.1:7777). After that step is completed, you want to allow other people to connect to your IP address so they can access your SA-MP server, right?

The IP you should give to your friends so they can connect to your server is your external IP address, which you can find it here:
https://icanhazip.com/
Remember, you're running a SA-MP server, if you put your IP on ****** Chrome nothing will load, because you're not serving a website, but a SA-MP server.

Also, to make sure things go well delete "127.0.0.1:7777" from your SA-MP server list and add your external IP to the list. And sorry if this post is confusing, it's kinda hard to explain this to a beginner as I'm pretty advanced.

Let us know how it goes

I also noticed you might be a bit confused about this "default gateway address" (you mentioned it in your first post, and then someone else also mentioned it). That's not your external IP address, so you should just forget about it.

Edit: And don't forget to temporarily disable your Windows Firewall (or/and any other firewalls you might have active). Firewalls may block the SA-MP server from establishing connection to the outside. After we solve this problem, you will need to re-enable your firewall for security reasons, but we will add a rule/exception to the SA-MP server, so he can freely connect to the internet.

DangChangBang is my username there! god bless people like you!

[Colonel]
