***Is there a way to connect to win2ds on your computer from another router. Example my computer would be connected to my router at home and i would connect my ds to like an airport router and they could still connect. If you can't connect them from 2 different routers then someone should find a way to which would make win2ds amazing!***

 

**Does my ds HAVE to be on the same router as my computer for it to work?**

 

 

 

~thankssssss

Yes absolutely, but you would have to make sure your port 8888 is forwarded to the internet, and unblocked from your firewall(s).

 

www.portforward.com has a lot of guides to help you set this up, the destination ip for the port forward is your PC's IP address

 

port forwarding is also called virtual servers on some modems/routers

 

I've done this before, and if your upstream bandwidth is ok, it can be just as good as over a local network.
