Hi Deadrea here

i have a hamachi server and a few people go on it

ITS BORING

so i want to make it public

only problem, is i cant use port-forwarding as my dad wouldnt let me change the belkin router setting.

so is there another way to make it public

i make you mod or admin if you help

[jefe]

No, you'll need to port forward if you are going to run a home server.  You can always rent a server though...

[Deadrea]

i heard there is a way around it just from someones computer to my computer rather than someones comtuper to their router to my dads router to my computer i need a positive answer

No, it needs to go through your router.  There are other options, but they require software on both ends like Hamachi

what i want is a server that i

1. dont need to change router setting to use
2. work on http://minecraftservers.org/

Like Jefe said, that's unfortunately not possible.

Players need to first go through your router before they can go to your server, and without a port-forwarded server, that's not going to be possible. And also, to be able to post your server on minecraftservers.org, you're going to need a port-forwarded server.

If you're willing to spend a few bucks a month, there are a bunch of companies that offer server hosting. You can make a request in the Hosting Requests sub-sub-forum.

Best wishes,

Does that rlly work?!

[SkyWindZ]

No guys, With any other tools. Even No-Ip. It actually still requires you to Portforward, VPS or even Rent a server.
There is no other way to make the Server Public without them.

What if you had multiple separate phone lines coming in to your location(each with a modem) and had people establish direct connections to the server over the telephone network.

Give out the phone numbers and enjoy non-portforwarded public minecraft in one of the most laggy environments conceivable to human kind!

While its not practical or desirable, its theoretically possible and does fit the bill.

* EDIT*lol i just realized, could do this with just a USB type DSL modem( no router) connected directly to the server machine- it might even be playable! (what is USB1.0 bandwidth anyway? 1.5mbps?)

[azazo90za]

i put my local ip into a no-ip dns host and i started my server and i typed dns in on multiplayer it connected is it world public?

[3pix]

This is pointless, you need to port-forward in order to make a public server and there is no way around it.

[revolutionxx3]

Couldn't you just unplug the router and plug your computer directly into the modem and then just have them connect to your ip?

No router = no ports to forward right?

Probably not the safest thing if you want it to be public though, if it could even work.

If you unplug the entire router, you'd have no Internet access.
Not sure if trolling, though.

a router is like a traffic officer, it just directs traffic. the MODEM is what gives internet access, the hint is in the name. Modulator/Demodulator.

Granted, you've likely grown up in an era where these two network components are most often combined into one single unit i.e. the modem router, but i can assure you that that is not true in all or even likely most cases.

On a straight road, there is no need to direct traffic. with a modem connected (through a non-network interface) directly to just one pc, there is also no need to direct traffic.

not sure if ignorant or just trolling oh and BTW, i made the very same point that Rev did just 4 posts ago.

[Deadrea]

is there a program that can let me port forward without hacking into the router but without other people needing to download

[streamstudios]

Dude, you need to cope with the fact that there is no way around it. Port-forward or rent. That is it.
