I had to do some configuring to make my ip static and it became 192.168.2.136 after that.

I got my car out of the garage, and it became a speedboat after that.

I was actually trying to make a point in that post.

Cheese, stop being a pain. One of the RFC'd private network ranges is 10.0.0.0/8. VeriSign's root server's IP is 194.41.0.4.

Routers (and computers if you have a direct connection to your modem) can attempt to make it static (sort of). If the ISP changes your IP Range, then the static IP assigned by your router won't work. I have a static IP setup with my router on my Dynamic internet connection.

Ok, now that that's over, any ideas on my problem?

Make sure you've done what's in the post by tsoccerman.
You're running your own biller, IP=127.0.0.1 should be IP=localhost.

You'll have to enter your zone by using a local connection. Try adding a custom zone entry, with 127.0.0.1 as IP address, 2386 as port, and well, pick whatever name you'd like (make it "DARE Adroit (local)" or something).

The rest of the settings should be fine to use (if not, we'll see about that later).

You will have to use the custom zone entry you made in order to enter your zone.

People from the Internet AKA your players/visitors will have to use the entry from the zone list.
The zone list gives your WAN IP (the internet IP you browse with, which is 216.73.216.208 (I don't know your WAN IP, using "[userip]" in my post displays it automagically)) and the port to players.
You've forwarded the ports 2386 and 2387 for those people, not for yourself (you're using a local connection anyway).
Misc:ServerIP should be set to your WAN IP.

This should get you connected, and if your ports are forwarded correctly, it should let others connect too.
If you can connect, but others can't, check your NAT configurations.

If you still have problems, please be specific (post process output/errors).
