Locating IP addresses

Locating IP addresses

In this step, we'll need to obtain our router's IP address as well as your PC's local IPv4 address. This step must be completed on the PC that will host the Skyrim Together Reborn server.

Accessing your router

1. Before we begin, we must determine how to gain access to our router.

2. Press Windows Key + R and write cmd

3. With Command Prompt open, type ipconfig /all and press Enter

4. Look for the Default Gateway line and note the IP address.

5. In my case, it's 192.168.50.1, but the more commonly used are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1.

6. Go to the favorite browser of your choice, and enter the IP you've found.

7. You'll most likely be greeted with a login page. If you don't know your login information, this guide can't help you. Typically, the information is physically located on your router, usually on a small white sticker.

8. Login to your router.

This is how you find your router's IP address

Before we continue

1. We need to find our PC's local IPv4 address before we can figure out how to do port-forwarding in our router.

2. To do this, we need to open cmd again.

3. Press Windows Key + R and write cmd

4. With Command Prompt open, type ipconfig /all and press Enter

5. Look for the IPv4 Address line

6. It will show you your local IPv4 address. In my case, it's 192.168.50.104.

7. Make a note of it, copy it, or remember it. It will come in handy later.

This is how you find your local IPv4 address
