Making a server
can anyone post a list on how to start a server?
i tried several times, but i can't get it to work,
the last time i tried i got stuck on opening ports, i tried this by going to the firewall and making a new rule opening all incoming and outgoing ports, but that didn't work well...

Yah. This site will help you do that: http://portforward.com/
you have to log into your router and do it there right?
You need to set up what port you want to use in the server.properties file (25565 is default and is a good one so keep that). After that you need to forward that port to your computer on your network. After that, go to whatismyip.com and the number that it gives you is the one that other people will use to connect to you. example is ipaddress:port. for mine that is 173.78.blah.blah:25565 and if you know what the two blah's are (currently request only) then you will end up in the wonderful world of moria.
