I tried that before i posted this topic but it says:
ip address must be on same subnet mask as the lan ip

...
The LAN IP of your server.
Not the Internet IP of your router.

In your LAN you have to connect to the LAN IP, not the WAN IP.
From the WAN you have to connect to the WAN IP, not the LAN IP.

You can try iptables if you understand what are you doing...
Code: Select all
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -j DNAT -p tcp -d IP1 --dport PORT1 --to IP2:PORT2
IP1:PORT1 are your WAN address:port, and IP2:PORT2 - LAN/somewhere else located IP:PORT

Ok follow this diagram:
[server]----[router]----{internet}
server has an IP between it and the router
router has an IP between it and the internet
You set the IP that the port forwards to to be the IP on the server.

I do not have a server I run unreal and services off my computer

Unreal = server
Making your computer = server in my diagram.
Hence you forward the ports to your computers OWN IP.
To find that out in windows, click Start then Run, type "cmd.exe /k ipconfig"
In *nix type ifconfig.
