Help with DayZ Server Port Forwarding

[Anthony v2 0]

Hey guys I'm currently trying to make my own Epoch DayZ server and I've encountered an issue. I am able to get on my server and view it/connect to it through DayZ Commander but, my friends cannot. I don't know if I have to forward ports, but from researching on google it seems so. I have no idea how do to that. ALSO, how do I find the IP of my own server so they can add it to their favorites? I have teamspeak 3/Skype/ and can livestream so you can see my desktop and help me through! Thank you

1. You don't need to forward any ports

2. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com

So do I take that IP and add the port 2302 and put those both into favorites on DayZ Commander and then connect? Will others use that same IP and port?

My server still doesn't show up.

That should be all you need... although I don't use DZ Commander for anything. I'm 90% sure that will work with the in-game browser. I never had to port forward anything when I ran my own server

I don't see my server on the in game browser or dayz commander. I don't understand why. Yet i can get on it and it says its online for me.

If you have a local firewall forward port in/out 2302 (whatever the server port is) TCP -- Yes, you need to forward it in windows firewall if you do not have a third party one installed.

how would go about doing that on a Motorola SBG6580 router? There is a slot for internal IP, internap port start/end, and external start/end.
