How to invite a friend to my LAN server?

[enewmen 0]

Hi all.

I got the LAN server running on my PC and I'm able to see my server in gamespy in the localhost. - When I click on Multiplayer.

So, how can I have my server viewable on the Internet so friends can join or connect a friend to my LAN server (without a VPN)?

In the config.cfg, I have

reportingip = arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com";

and

BattlEye = 1;

I don't expect this to be part of the main hive on DayzCommander.

thanks!

I really did try to search for an answer first.

I don't know if this will work for certain as I have never tried this but perhaps if you give them your external IP address. They can input that into the filter of their arma II and maybe they'll find your server that way.

Open your software/hardware firewall ports.

Thanks.

Which ports or where to find the specific ports? - I'm using the port I see on the Server Console.

I added the port in the router and the windows firewall. Nothing.

I think I'm missing some step to get the Remote function working.

EDIT:

It's working now an hour after doing the above!

It seemed to have fixed its self.
