I have the problem where my Local(127.0.0.1) and LAN connections work, but my TCP/IP does not. I am pretty sure I'm supposed to use the command Net Set Port, but I'm not sure where exactly to use this.
On the server side, do i just call Net Get Player Port, and insert it's value into Net Set Port? Or could it be a problem with my IP address?

You don't have to change the port number. If you want to accept connections from the internet you just need to set up port forwarding to forward traffic on port 3999 to the server computer. Also, if you are specifying an IP address in net host make sure it's your computer's LAN IP, and not 127.0.0.1.

Thank you very much, but now I have a few questions on the forwarding itself.
My setup for routers and such goes as this..
Modem -> Router -> Switch -> my computer(server)
Do I need to forward for the switch, or just skip it and just forward the router?
Or should I put my computer on the line before the switch and forward the router only? I would like it if I could skip having to reroute and not use the switch, but if I must I will.

[edit] Also, when I get to the page on your portfowarding link, which program should I select? DBP doesn't seem to be on it.

I think just forwarding the router should work.

Select the default router guide.

Thank you!! I've just gotten the TCP/IP connection working on my simple chat program. I opened used the port forwarding on the server computer(my computer) and my friend sent me messages that I could read.
My program does not yet allow the server to send messages to the client, but will the client have to open their ports too, or is it only needed for the server computer?

It's only necessary for the server computer.
