Hi, i'm not exactly experienced at this but looking around the interwebs and asking across servers i've been hearing i might be able to host a SMP server from my computer?
| | |
www.minecraft.net/download.jsp and download the server software. Preferably to its own folder in your Downloads folder. Then run it. Then close it again, and edit server.properties. Set your IP in it, and port forward, the default port is 25565. Then run your server again, and make a forum post somewhere telling people your IP.
More specifically about that IP thing, I think you should use your computer's specific IP in the server.properties. I only know how to find your computer's IP on a Windows machine. Got to Start-->Run and type in cmd and press enter. Then type ipconfig in the command prompt that opens up and press enter. It will give you your IP Address. Put that in your server.properties file. Then go to whatismyip.org, and it will give you your ROUTER'S IP Address, I think. I know, however, that that's the one people enter in the minecraft.net/game/ multiplayer to get into your server. Post that in a forum or something to advertise your server. If your port is anything other than 25565, then you will have to put :portnumber after your IP Address to get in. Example: Ip=1.0.0.0 Port=25560. Type in 1.0.0.0:25560 to get in. PM me with questions, but no guaruntee when I will answer, but send it to me anyway.

Give this a test, i can connect to it on the host computer, not tried external connections.
192.168.1.101:25565

I cant connect
| | |
Seems nobody but me can connect :/
| | |
The reason nobody but you can connect to your server Gonthorian is
almost certainly because the IP address you have specified is not valid.
The 192.168.x.x range of addresses are for internal network use only
and are not valid for use on the internet in general making them no
good for the purpose of hosting a game server.
The IP address you need to specify is the one provided to you by your
internet service provider which can usually be found by logging onto
your internet modem/router and checking for the IP Address within the internet connection information displayed there.
