    Ok, this is port trouble.

    I have AVP 2 Multiplayer Demo (downloaded from www.download.com). I try to host a server (dedicated and under any bandwidth) with all the port ranges (2300-2400TCP, 7000-10000TCP, 27888-27900UDP) forwarded and Windows Firewall is letting the server through.

    My scorched3d server runs perfectly. What happens with AVP is that no one on the internet can see the server, but my own LAN network. The server shows up both on the LAN servers list and the internet servers list.
    And it appears, in the internet list, with the default port assigned "27888" but it is on my LAN IP.

    So the game is using the wrong IP address; where it should be using my internet IP, but it is instead using my LAN IP.

    How do I fix this, there has to be a way...even if it is just one way.
