Alright first off I'm new to both this forum and Arma 3 so hello everyone. Enough of that, I just started to try and create a dedicated server. Currently it is running off my laptop and I can connect to it via LAN in my houses on my home connection but cannot find it in the internet listing. I think it may have something to do with ports. I was unsure which firewall rules needed to be incoming or outgoing. Also I do have a router but was unsure If I needed to change anything for it. P.S. do i need a static IP address? Thank you for your time and patience, Floyd
