Re: 2 network questions
Every router is a bit different so I can't really give specifics. You'll have some specific web address you visit, which gives you access to your router for changing it's internal settings. For example, some routers use the address 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.1
When you finally get in (likely explained in the manual that came with the router) there should be some section that lets you forward ports. You'll come up with a port number you want to use, type it, and then type the local IP for the computer you're running your game server on. The router now knows that any time someone sends data to that port, it will redirect the message to your specific computer. The game you're making (or playing) will request the IP to connect to, but also the port to use. Make sure you're using the same port number as the one you set up in the router, since that's how the router knows those are the messages you want sent to your computer.
