Hi. Yesterday I portforwarded and I have a bukkit server setup for me and a few friends. I was going to advertise for a game of Race for the Wool, as we don't have enough players. Part of my IP is 50.82.***.** and I read somewhere that giving out your external IP is safe, but I'm unsure that this is my external IP. Any replies are appreciated, thanks

Well his friends yes, but if he's mainly looking for fun and not server hosting then I recommend him keeping his IP only within him and his friends.
