Your router has the public IP address, and it won't look like that. Your PC has the address 192.168.1.7 that was given to it by the router, the router uses NAT (network address translation) to translate between the external IP and your local IP (192.168.1.7)

Using your modem would speed things up... he could also use forwarding port 4444 to his PC through his router.


Renguard is a wonderful initiative
