I really need help to startup a server without hamachi, i am on windows 7 and live in canada. Please give me any help you can with this or link me to a good tutorial and i can vote your post up or do anything else to pay back your favor :smile.gif:
1) Open up a command prompt (start menu type in cmd)
2) In the command prompt, type in "ipconfig" and look for Ipv4 address and default gateway, save those numbers.
3) Open up an internet browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox)
4) In the url bar, type in the default gateway number from the command prompt. This will allow access to your router.
5) It will ask for a username and password. The default is usually "admin/admin", "admin/password", or some other simple combination.
6) Once you have access to your router, you will look for "port forward and/or port trigger" (it might be under applications and gaming)
7) It should ask for an IP address. Remember the Ipv4 address from the command prompt? Type that in. It will also ask for a port number and protocol. You can use any port number you feel like putting in, but the default for minecraft is 25565. Protocol is going to be both TCP/UDP.
8) Should everything be done correctly, your port should now be open. Proceed to www.canyouseeme.org to check if your port is open. (You will also find your external network address, this is what others will use to connect to your server. However, you will use the Ipv4 address from the command prompt)
I hope this helps, if it doesn't quite work for you, just let me know and I'll try to help out as much as I can.

Don't click me.
I said don't click me!
Why are still clicking me?!
Okay, now I'm just annoyed...
You could be doing something productive right now...
Like finding the cure for cancer or something...
But no, you just have to keep clicking this damn spoiler tag.
Really, stop it.
I mean it.
The next spoiler tag you click is gonna blow up the world.
Boom, the world is gone.
I hope you're happy now, you broke the world...
The world is gone and you're still clicking spoiler tags on a forum post signature.
This is getting you nowhere in lyfe.
I spelled "LIFE" rong.
I spelled that rong too.
Great, now you got me on a ramble.
Just go to bed, you've stayed up way too late already.
It's 13 o'clock and you're still awake at this hour clicking spoiler tags.
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the whole "You broke the world" thing either.
Now you're probably wondering if this is ever going to end.
Are you board yet?
How about now?
Obviously not, because you're still clicking spoiler tags.
This conversation has gone on way too long and I don't even know you're name.
Pleased to meet you, my name is ʞǝɹɹǝp.
Holy crap, how did he do that?!
Magic...
But not like Las Vegas magic though, that crap stinks.
I'm talkin' about some high class pixie dust magic.
That is fly.
I would show you another magic trick, but the world is broke.
Along with my magic hat.
This conversation is really doing absolutely nothing for the both of us.
Well I gotta go now, I have an appointment with the director of Purgatory.
But before I go, I have one more thing to say to you...
Congratulations on making it to the end of the spoiler chain, now go make yourself some cookies!
