I installed the server exe program and I'm going directly into my PC from my router (so no need to port forward). I tried opening Minecraft and using my IP Address but it says "Failed to connect to server Connection timed out" each time. I'm wanting to open a simple private server for me and my friend...anyone know how to achieve this?
When I open the server exe file it never gives me options to make it public/private, and I'm assuming this is due to it being alpha so I understand this is completely new to all of us, but for the sake of trying to play it tonight with my friend does anyone know what I should do?
No one still? I have about an hour before I should go pass out for work...this was something I kind of looked forward to tonight but I'm sure its all due to all of the bugs going on..
If you have any sort of firewall (i.e. Windows, McAfee), you may need to open up the port in that. You might also try connecting with a local IP. Can anyone else connect to your server via your IP?
Anyone else willing to help tonight since I only have an hour left? I looked on various forums and most of them refer to some server.cfg file but the server file you download is a single .exe file which does not expand into any other files and Alpha client is just a .exe as well.
