Hey everbody! I'm trying to make a server to play on with my friends. I am getting really frustrated and can't make one. Does anyone know a good link to a tutorial, or havegodd intructions. Thank you guys for the help, and I might give a reward to someone who does well.
Well, if you have the time to read through some pretty detailed stuff, there's this: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server You'll mainly need to look at the sections for your OS and the port forwarding section http://portforward.com/ This can help you open your ports so that others can connect to your server when/if you get it up and running.
I've tried to make one myself, but when I got to port forwarding, I was finished because my dad wouldn't really approve of changing the settings on the router. To me it seems that if I just were to open the port I'd be set, so I don't think you need to read the entire thing to get an understanding of what you're doing.
