External IP checkbox in SDS file settings

What does the external IP checkbox in the sds file settings ?.

I thought it was necessary to flag it in order to have server visible on the ingame list, but mine is visible even if the checkbox is unflagged...

Is it visible to you or someone else? I'm pretty sure if it's unchecked (so not external) it utilizes 127.0.0.1 which is the standard "loopback" address which means it throws your own connection right back at you. You may be the only one that sees it on the list.

 

Otherwise, be sure you're using/modifying the same sds file that you've unchecked "external IP" on.

Thx for reply Abortedman.

It is visible to everyone in the list as Skies-of-Valor. The server is in USA and I am in Italy....

Not a problem, because I want it to see visible, but was asking myself about the need of the checkbox.

I'll post a screenshot of my settings this evening as soon as I'll be back from work.
