Steel - Have you tried using my config settings with the changes that Dev mentioned? I don't know if it's exactly right or not, because I can connect to my server properly, but someone on my same LAN cannot. I haven't had anyone else try outside of my LAN yet.
That dnsalias address is just a Dyndns address that I used to ensure my external IP stays updated. Any time you reset your router, your IP changes if you don't have a static IP. Setting your IP as static in the Control Panel isn't the same thing, although it is still a good idea to do. When you activate a dyndns address, it hosts an address for you that tells everyone you direct to it what your current IP is so that they are still able to connect when it changes. At least that's what I understand, but I am just learning these things too. It's a free service if you want to try it. Just google "dyndns".
People use different settings in different areas where you see clmtyserver.dnsalias.com, so I don't know exactly what will work. All it does is show people my external IP, so you shouldn't use it for areas in config that needs your internal IP. Honestly, I've just been going through forums for more than a week and trying different suggestions to get this far. Good ol' trial and error.
