Minecraft server help [SOLVED]

[epic7]

Does anyone here know how to make a minecraft server?

I used this:
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/E3000/Minecraft_Server.htm
to help.

I think I've succesfully set up a static ip adress, and I copied exactly what it said to do in the port forwarding menu.

But when I checked here, it said the port was closed

I tried to use my external ip anyways to connect to minecraft, but of course, it failed.

(minecraft_server says "Disconnecting Epic07 [/192.168.1.1:61252]: Outdated server!")


Is there anyone with experience with this?

Several time actually!
I finally gave up and made a server with hamachi
But you could ask happybobjr im pretty sure his isn't hamachi...
Plus he could make you your own and give you the Ip!

[epic7]

What's hamachi?

[hellninjas]

hamachi.en.softonic.com
LogMeIn Hamachi is the one that im stuck with!

EDIT: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamachi_(software)

Thats good for minecraft servers?

[hellninjas]

It works yes but over vast distances it can be terrible

[epic7]

Hmmm... You said you're stuck with it... So that makes me think its not very good

[hellninjas]

Well, its an alternative to the actual thing, as i dont have a connection good enough to host servers i cant! Hamachi runs off its own so my signal is somewhat high when i use it. If i could use official i would.

Is there anyone with experience with this?

you are using a 1.0.0 server when you need a 1.1 server

[epic7]

Whoa... It works now!

But blocks appear right back again after mining them
edit: Never mind

[annoyingcalc]

what is the server ip?

[hellninjas]

Hahaha!
Simple problem simply solved!

[epic7]

Moar problems:
Anyone know how I can get my ip to stop changing?
My ip adress frequently changes, which makes it hard to get people to visit my server

That's something you need to work out in two places: Any routers hooked to your home network, and your ISP. The latter may require a higher internet plan than you have, but maybe not.

[Happybobjr]

Well what ip is it?
It it the one people log on with, or is it the one you connect to the internet with?
try this. http://portforward.com/help/setup_static_ip_address.htm
