Just dont enter any IP. Only use that field if you're sure of what you are doing. The MTA Server will assign the IP automatically if the field is left blank.

I didnt knew that... i will try

but how do i know whats my ip then?

Once your server is running, your friends can connect to it via your external (internet) IP. You can find it out by visiting a site like whatismyip.org.

If you are behind a router, make sure that your server port and the port just after it are forwarded to your computer. e.g. if your server is running on port 22004, make sure ports 22004 and 22005 are forwarded.

your forgetting the ASE port too

where can i find out the fkin ASE PORT???!?!??!?!?!?!?

The ASE port is only needed if you want your server to show up in the server browser and on game-monitor.com. If you are just going to give your IP to some friends, there's no need for this.

(And in case you do want to forward the port, it is displayed when the server starts up)

And concerning static IP's: this is not absolutely necessary. You can just forward the ports to your current dynamic IP (the one ipconfig gives you); usually it doesn't change for months.
