Question - about sa-mp server

[Palladium_Palace]

Hey guys, as i´ve learned a bit scripting i would like to test some of them with a own server. So i´ve created one.
But I can´t find this server on the "Internet". I don´t know why. Anyway i can´t use the my ip, which i find on www.whatismyip.com and then :7777, so the server has a other adress (sth like 192.168.0.197).

Can anyone please say me what i need to do to get this server added to "Internet" (btw i announced it in server.cfg).

Thank you very much!

Maybe you have to forward your ports.

yep, port forwarding is the answer.

On MTA Race you weren't allowed to find your own server with the server browser, isn't that the same case on SA-MP?

Does it cost money?

Anyway how does port forwarding works, and what do I have to do?

And, btw isn´t it normally so that your server IP is      yourip:7777 ?
it´s so on all servers... (is it possible, to enter/change somewhere the serverip?)

Anyway, i would be very thankful, for any help or tip

It's free.

First go to http://portforward.com/english/routers/p...rindex.htm and find your router, click it, then click 'skip advertisement' on the top right and you get a list of games. Select San Andreas Multiplayer and follow the steps!
(Make sure 'announce' is set to 1 in server.cfg)

PS: 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 is a homehost, only you can see it.

Thank you, for your help, Matthias! This portforwarding doesn´t really work, there´s an unknown error.
But anyway, i was able to forward my port via local router settings, and i´m happy about it, so i can test my scripts, maps, etc... now

Thanks for your help, my freind, i really apperciate this.

You can always test your script locally, doesn't matter if your ports are forwarded or not

Just add 127.0.0.1 or 'localhost' as IP and run the server
