Bad ip when using ipconfig

[TinyBolts]

Sooo I'm running into this problem where ipconfig in cmd shows wrong ip. I'm trying to host a game server and I need the real ip... I dont really know much about all of this so I'm asking you :p.

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::6453:548:e4e1:7fd6%13
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.8.100
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.8.1

What do you mean "bad IP"? Are you trying to get your Public IP? if so, go to this site: https://whatismyipaddress.com

just shows me the wrong thing. I told you i really dont know much about this stuff. Im trying to get the ipv4 starting with 192.168.x.x but i get this...86.38.7.235

What do you consider the "correct" ip to be? Ipconfig correctly reports your computer's local network ip. If you want to know your external ip, try this:

 nslookup myip.opendns.com. resolver1.opendns.com

That would be your Public IP address from your internet provider. The one in the image is you the IP you need. 192.168.8.100 is your PCs IP and 192.168.8.1 is your router's IP.

You can't control your external ip, your ISP is responsible for giving you one. If you want to be able to reliably connect to your ip you should setup a domain.

but no one can connect to server. I did the port forwarding myself... didnt work. Used UPnP still didnt work

I had a friend test all for me

you need your public IP for this. Also your internal router will have to forward some specific ports to the machine hosting the game server. Should be explained in the game servers documentation somewhere.

Also try that games forum for tips and tricks about setting it up correctly since it can be a bothersome crap load to deal with.

and on top of all that: read up on how IP / ports work. That knowledge will stay relevant for the rest of your digital life :-)

I finished up the server, added plugins and all just for the ip to not work.

Port forward your external IP address on the router to the internal address of your PC.

192.168.x.x is internal address space and then 192.168.8.100 is your internal IP address, the 86.38.7.235 is your public address. Your friends MUST connect to the external address while you connect to the internal address of the PC. Port forwarding will take care of getting them from the external address to the internal address.
