How can I make my own computer as my Host IP?

[Pink Guy]

I've been told that I need to do some stuffs before I can make my home IP as the host for my server.. so can someone teach me how to do it? because I asked my host if he can teach me via Team Viewer and he said that I need to do it personally because it will take alot of time. Anyway, please help and if you do, thank you

Host website or ro ?

[Nameless2you]

I understand where you're coming from that you're interested but please, get to know everything first before starting a server, if this is only for testing purposes and playing by yourself then by all means go ahead but please don't be like one of the 25 hundred other people that attempt to make their own private server with little knowledge spend money on things they don't know and end up depressed or with zombie servers. And now back to what are you exactly trying to do? Host a website or a ro server?

You can find your IP via http://whatsmyip.net and you just need to add that to your map_athena.conf and char_athena.conf server.

Obviously your ports should be open and there are a couple of additional adjustments to be made else the server will always give you an annoying message of changing the servers username and password on startup. And please do use the wiki since there's a lot of information gathered there here a good link.
