Port forwarding my PC

[soourcecode]

So I have been recently been getting into video game server hosting, and thats all fair and good, but my only problem is port-forwarding. Since all game servers need to be port-forwarded to show up on the internet, I'd think to just find an article for port-forwarding Google wifi, which I did. I followed the article and it said to open up the Google Home app and go to where my wifi manages are stored. I went to Network settings > Advanced network settings > Port management, and wanted to add my PC as a rule - Though it did not show up. I look through all the IPs, but none of them where my computer.

Can someone give advice on this topic? I am not a very smart person when it comes to networking.

You need to change the IP address type to DHCP

Hello everyone, 

Thanks for helping out, @znachok88.

@soourcecode, I want to check in and see if you are still in need of help. If you are, make sure that you set a static IP address for your PC first before setting up a port for it, since that's needed for you to be able to see the device. 

Hope this helps.

Best, 
Lovely
