Server behind NAT (wrong ip shown)

Hey all,

when I start a server behind my router it says I started a LAN server
with the IP 192.168.0.2 but thats the internal IP that the router gives me,
I need the IP 217.121.79.62 to be shown otherwhise no-one else outside the
router will be able to connect....

Anyone who knows the solution?

Edit: I already forwarded both TCP and UDP port 2302 to my Internal IP

when you use the game's server broeser from within your network, you will see the server's internal address. however, from the internet (if the UDP ports are forwarded correctly) it will show the correct (external) IP.
my server is called "FreeLance Demons - Israel" and it's on my home network, behind a router, and it works fine. (it's not 24/7, so you may not find it all the time)

Cheers,
Ariel
