Hi!
I'm wanting to setup a server that Myself and my family and friends can play on together, but all the tutorials that I've found are hard to follow being that I don't have the same DSL/Internet provider as the tutorial maker has.
So, is there anyone out there who uses CenturyLink phone company for their DSL service who can walk me through the process on setting up a Minecraft server?
Please help and thanks so much in advance

I haven't used it but It should work the same, it is quite similar to windows 7 i think...
Unfortunately I have Windows 8 and I hate it! So does that mean it won't work?
Normal minecraft or bukkit?
I only know for windows xp or windows 7 (same method)
Normal Minecraft (vanilla)
bukkit Server.
hope this helps!

For normal minecraft it is very simple. Go to the minecraft.net website then click download. in teat page it says minecraft.exe. but what you want to download is Minecraft_Server.exe. install it then place it in the folder you want to access the server from. double-click the Minecraft_Server.exe then click run. wait for it to fully load (it will say done) then exit it. double-click the server PROPERTIES file then open with notepad or wordpad and change the properties (optional) here you can change whether it is survival or creative. If you want a creative server, I strongly recommend changing the max build height. if survival you may as well just leave it. If you want a personal server, turn it on whitelist (whitelist=true) and on the whitelist file write the names of the players you want on one on each line. in the ops file, write the desired players in it, again just one on each line.
Want a particular world you have in singleplayer? then go to run/appdata .minecraft. open 'saves' tehn go into the world you want. copy all of the contents and paste them in WORLD in the server file.
Enjoy!

bukkit Server.

bukkit is more complicated, but way more enjoyable (to a certain extent)
download the #2756 1.5.1-R0.3 development build at :
http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/
create a folder where you want the server to run from. drag the file into it and rename the .jar file craftbukkit NOT craftbukkit.jar.
Open a text editor such as Notepad and type:
java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
PAUSE
save it as run.bat
now you've done the easy part. go to http://plugins.bukkit.org/
look for the desired plugins (you can make shops, portals etc)
put them in the 'plugins' folder. (you need winrar or winzip)
right-click on each plugin (.jar or .zip) and click 'extract here'.
you can change the properties at the same file server PROPERTIES and you can whitelist, op etc
Enjoy!
