Hello. Me and my friend were trying to play magicite together, and i wanted to port forward my ip so he can connect. My internet is fine, i don't experience any issues with it, but i can't connect to my default gateway.

here's my ipconfig

Solution
If I remember correctly windows when it detects a public address turns on certain firewall rules by default. You need to check the firewall rules on your machine and ensure you allow the correct ports the game needs.


I don't like this.

87.x.x.x is not any legal LAN IP
Both IPv4 Address and Default Gateway do not belong to the same subnet (as they must) according to mask.
 
Unless someone configured something very strange it appears there is no router at your house. Your pc has a IP directly from the isp. This generally means there is only a modem.

The good news is you do not have to port forward anything. The bad news is everything is in effect port forwarded to your pc making is subject to attack. Make sure your firewall is correctly setup on your pc.

...on the subnet mask. It is correct, the ip range is 87.110.120.1-87.110.123.254

The other ethernet adapter with the ip 25.83.86.111 is unlikely correct that one is used internally by the military in the UK
