Open port in router to redirect incoming traffic

[davidoff]

Ive made my own ventriloserver, but no one can connect to it so i opened port 3784 in my router setup, still not working. So i asked arouned on forums and got the answer that i have to redirect the port so ppl can connect to my ip. Only port i can open gotta have same ip adress as my LAN ip adress so only people connected to my network at home can get acces to hit, how do i open a port so anyone can connect to it?

Please read what you have posted and see if it makes sense to you - maybe have someone close by do the same.

If you want only people connected to your network at home to get access to a server on the same network, you probably don't need to open any ports on the router/firewall
