Yehh

You did it wrong. That isnt the IP. that would be the Port. If you want to find the IP, go to Whatsmyip.com

You corrected it wrong. That is not a port but an internal (non-internet routable) IP.
The advice to go to http://whatsmyip.com is solid though.

Sorry, it's actualy 2 AM, so i'm abit messy right now.

When ever i go to whats my ip it says its offline or whatever. And it comes up with a snog advertisement

Try using http://www.whatsmyip.org/ It should be somewhere at the top.

but 10.0.1.8 works for me. Is that cause im the owner or what.

Ok i went to that website. I put my i.p that it said at the top into the server notepad thing. But when a open the minecraft server it says:
[WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
[WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind
[WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?
Im new so i have no damn idea what the means

Just google "How to bind a port". That is going to make it alot easier.

I don't think you need to paste your IP into the server.properties. Just leave it blank
