things you want to know how to do is port forward. thats the biggest thing with setting up a server because without doing that your server will not be reachable by anyone outside of your network.. i suggest getting the server program from minecraft.net. good for first time servers and easy to set up. just click an icon and go with it. but like i said about port forwarding you need to do that if you dont know how. there are plenty of guides online to walk you through how to do this.
You can download the latest versions of java here: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
To just make a server It's pretty easy. You need to download bukkit here: http://dl.bukkit.org/ and place it in a folder located in the desktop (or my documents, doesn't matter). And rename the downloaded file to just craftbukkit (craftbukkit.jar).
After that, you're going to make a .bat document in the folder, and insert the following code:
After that you can just open the .bat file to start the server. If you want you friends to come on, you need to port forward and give them your IP. You can find your IP here: http://ipchicken.com/.
