Hey,
when I open a dedi 2 homeserver, whats the IP of this server?
I didn't open the ports on my router, so I cannot see the server in the CoD2-serverlist, but there're some players connecting to my server.
How do they find the IP and how do I find it?

Thanks serthy

go in your server, hold shift for the scoreboard and at the bottom right it should tell you your IP

If you did not open any ports, then the players should not be able to connect. You have somehow opened some ports and the players are using it to connect to your server.

Your ip can be found by www.whatsmyip.org or any similar service. I think your server IS in the cod2 list, or in the xfire list although you dont know about it.

About the ports: if you have a router with only one port out, then you are connected to the internet directly and ALL ports are already opened

i connect to my homeserver with the standart port at the end 28960 (this is what the scoreboard shows, and thats why i dont need to write it to the end of my ip)
i see my server in the local-serverlist with another server, but in the internet-serverlist are all other servers except of my one

im totally new to this, sry :D

It sometimes takes a while to see your server publicly listed via the stock server browser as the Activision Master Server is notorious for not populating new servers quickly enough. But the fact that others can connect to you means that there is nothing wrong with your IP. They wouldn't be able to connect to you if there was.

If you are wondering how these other people found you, they probably found your server via a different server browser like XFire.

EDIT -

Make sure you don't have modded servers filtered out. Your server will show locally, but not publicly if you filter out mod servers.
