Hopefully it isn't as confusing as it is for creative. I can never figure it out...so I just gave up on it. I hardly even play creative anymore, and only on TheOnes servers (op-in stuff :tongue.gif:)
I would like to know how I make a smp server so tomorrow me and my friends can play together.
You wait until SMP will be released tomorrow. Seriously, that's as good of a question as asking "what will happen tomorrow in some obscure little town in some country that nobody knows about?".

Way to be an ass. Actually the whole "in some obscure little town in some country that nobody knows about" Is unneeded because no where can people see tomorrow. People may see the future but what they see is not always right.
....don't start tripping on us MBD. Your posts are difficult enough to understand as is.
As for hosting the server, no, nobody knows what it'll be like. But It'll probably be very similar to hosting a creative server, at least in the beginning.

How are my post difficult to understand?
Also thank you for a nice short and simple answer.
Servers are not complicated to run, but when you start running custom servers...
I just want a normal server. But would I still have to portforward?
Absolutely. And according to Notch's blog post:
To connect to a server, you will need to enter the IP for the server, and open up the required ports (the default port is the same as for minecraft classic, 25565)
to connect to a server you will need to portforward, too.

Will I need to download some port forwarding thing if so I wont make one.
It's a bit complicated: [*:u6576osm]If you have any standalone firewall software (e.g. Windows Firewall) or included one with an anti-virus (e.g. Avast!, AVG), then you need to either allow the port or disable the firewall. I always disable mine because I've a router; read on.
[*:u6576osm]If you have a modem, you're pretty much done. If you have a router that doesn't allow all connections, you need to open the port. You need to go to the router configurations, which is usually on a 192.168.1.X address (e.g. my Linksys router config is on 192.168.1.1), find where you can open the ports, do it, specify your internal IP address, confirm, and hope that it worked. It's more work than desired.

The default port is 25565 TCP/UDP, the same one that creative is set to be on default.
yes, most routers actually have software built into them so you can forward ports via that. AT&T is confirmed it do it.
(The info is usually on the bottom/sides of the router).
Absolutely. And according to Notch's blog post: to connect to a server you will need to portforward, too.
You dont need to download any "port forwarding thing"
Just google "How to port forward"
Find the ports you need to forward and find a guide. Not that hard.
