Swr.net confusion problems, (I did not want to register just for this this soon.) Options

[Logica]

I have been looking through all the forums, I tried everything that I could that I could think/that i heard of, and I still haven't found a solution to making swr.net work, as it keeps saying im the only one in the lobby, and I know that there is like 1- 10 other people there. I have looked in the options and 1. it did say im using a 169.(something) ip address, but i do not know how to fix it without using hamachi or port forwarding (i heard people used/done them and it worked fine.) I've been trying and researching all day, still no luck. If anybody would like to give any advise/solution please do, and while your at it try to be detailed.
