Hey, I linked my server with 2 other servers and when i try to connect to my ip address it wont, it will say connection refused. but i have to connect to 192.168.0.11. is there anyway i can connect to my ip address?

Another server on the link connects through his ip address so i was wondering if it is possible and how i could do it if it is.

If your server is in your local network and you are using NAT, it's not possible to connect to your WAN IP from the internal network. You have to use the IP 192.168.0.11. But why is that a problem?

because no one can connect to my server either. my friend hooked me up with a domain and still nothing.

Well THAT is a completely different problem then.

If you have the domain, you need to have a DNS entry pointing to your public IP (the one your ISP gave you), you then need to configure your router for port forwarding, so clients can get into your network to your server.
