In This panel you see local ip not external ip. this local ip is that ip in which we forward router port ok.
4) Now We talk about modem or router for port forwarding.
* In Business plan may or may not port forwarded already.
* In Home Plan port is not forwarded already so you need to setting your router the best site which helps for how to open router setting is www.portforward.com.
* I have Nokia SIEMENS 1600 Router so i am going to tell you how to open its port for cs 1.6 server
1. First goto http://192.168.1.1/ here all basic modem setting available.
2. Then goto http://192.168.1.1/main.html or http://192.168.1.1/index.php here all advance setting available.
3. But before port forwarding make your ip static remeber its your local static ip.
4. Open control panel then open Networking and Sharing then goto local area connetion status then open its properties after that ipv4 (internet protocol version 4) its properties and setting here look like in pic below

• Now you have static ip you need to forward router port on this ip (192.168.x.xxx)
• Open http://192.168.1.1/scdmz.html for DMZ set your ip here.
• Now add virtual server for this purpose open http://192.168.1.1/scvrtsrv.html add virtual server by pressing add button.
