Forward 17011 TCP in your router :)

I do everything how there write and nothing ... :(

Maybe I do something wrong with static IP

I can only put last number of ip 192.168.0.*

I put * , my last number of my IP adress what I get when I go to CMD and type ipconfig , this I put ...

Btw... in Worms Armageddon I put for IP and this my static IP and ISP IP and nothing ... I can host but people can't join to my hosted game :((

You don't need to put any IPs in W:A itself.

That is your internal IP address that your router's DHCP server is handing out to all machines in your internal network.
I suggest you set your router to always allocate the same IP address to your computer.
E.g. 192.168.0.2, because 192.168.0.1 most likely is the router itself.
Most routers randomly allocate IP addresses everytime a remote computer connects. With a static internal IP address it's much easier for you to handle.
I put * , my last number of my IP adress what I get when I go to CMD and type ipconfig , this I put ...
You now have to tell your router where to reroute incoming traffic.
I.e. set it to forward incoming traffic on port 17011 to your computer on your internal, 192.168.0.2 in my suggested case.

You don't have to do anything in WA or in Windows.
