when it comes to the net i have no understnading at all with ips / connection settings ect.. i dont have a router... but may be able to get hold of a netgear router if thats any good, as i can just connect my modem to this then a cable from the net gear into my pc?

what / how does proxy work ? - ill look it up though but might not understand the full on technical terms

all 6 rooms are hosted from the same person, ihave nothing linked to me to be apart from my ip? i could reinstalll the game but seeing as i dont even use a cd key, would it make a difference?

as for your post Rvan , no i dont have a router, just a modem but can get hold of a netgear router if needed

thing is, thats were every one plays, there is many cheaters, sometimes using other players names. amd if you dont have a name the server gives you one like , vogan 1 , vogan 2 ect ect.... if i was there as vogan 4 for example then a cheat comes in as a leave and he then gets vogan 4 and then cheats they'll probaly ban us both

ethernet cable direct into motherboard , i did read some were even if i have a router that i am still using the same moden so ill be stuck with the same ip no matter what i do as i can't change my moden ip???

ive tryed loads of different ways now, yes it says its changed but as soon as i go to a findmyip website it shows the same ip as before
