I have broadband connection and a linksys router, I want to host a private dedicated server (without using gamespy etc) for me and my friends. everything is setup OK now (ports etc) but people cannot connect because the IP on the server is the LAN IP 192.168.1.xxx I askde my ISP if they could assign me another IP and they refused, but they did say you can get a "fake IP" creater that will allow you to create a internet IP address but I can;t find any of these programs or any other way to do it, thanks
