Well, I mean, the computer I'm on is connected to a wireless network. It runs LAN servers beautifully, even in games like Team Fortress 2.
Will I be able to port forward this even though it's connected to a wireless internet? I'd really just like someone to give me a live step-by-step guide, because each guide I've followed has not worked.
Wow, that's the same as my router. This'll be pretty simple.
First, we need to get an idea of which ports we need to forward. Most servers will let you set this in a configuration file, or at least tell you the default port(s) in a README somewhere. For this example, I'll just use the default port for MCSharp, 25565.
Before we actually forward the ports, we need to get your machine's local IP address. Open up the command prompt and type ipconfig. Look for "IPV4 Address" and write down what's listed next to it.
Log in to your router by navigating to "192.168.1.1" with your web browser. Go to the "Applications and Gaming" tab.
Now for the actual forwarding.
In the "Application" field, type whatever you want. Just make sure you'll know what it is when you see it later.
In the "Start" and "End" fields, type in the appropriate ports. If you're only forwarding one port, put that port in both fields.
For the "IP Address" field, refer to the number you wrote down earlier. You should only have to edit the last few digits.
Then you're done! Just save the settings and test it out!
It's important to note, however, that you'll need to repeat this process every time your IP address changes. There are ways to set a static IP, but there's not an easy way with this specific router.
It worked :biggrin.gif: No idea it was so simple. The ipconfig was the very small but necessary part that every other tutorial seemed to lack. Thanks so much man.
Ah, I really want to play this now.
I look forward to seeing the effect night and monsters has on the game. People who venture out will build little buildings for when it becomes night, eventually I can envision buildings designed for people to stay in on paths heading out into the wilderness for those going out to gather resources.
Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
Should I be getting a connection timeout constantly, or does that mean I have something on my computer configured wrong?
Means the server is closed.

Yes it will. And according to Notch it doesn't take up too much RAM too.

It'll be great .
I think I'll put out a similar chest. Make it like a "take-a-penny" tray.
It's just a little difficult at first.

I'm on a wireless network and I've been forwarding my ports for a while now for various servers and other programs.
What router are you using? I might be able to help you out.

They will be infinite, just like single player. However, there will also be an option for server owners to host non-infinite maps as well.
