I'd imagine so. Since you didn't know how to find your own IP, I doubt you know that to access the server using your external IP address you need to open the ports on the router.

Assuming you're hosting from home, Google is magic.

Remember to forward the port for Minecraft if you've got a router.

He's already proved to me, after the step by step process of how to search google to find one of those sites, that he was incapable of using google. I think typing "my ip" into google would be much too complicated for him.

If you are using windows go to the menu bar and click on run. If you are using windows 7 just go to the searchbar at the bottom and type in 'cmd'. Once you have done that you will have this black screen with a few words her and there. Don't worry just type in 'ipconfig' once you have done that it gives a ton of numbers on the right and words on the left. Find the one that says Ip address, it is somewhere there or PvP if you have a laptop. It should look like a decent amount of numbers with periods ex. 192.145.2.132 <-- This is seriously not my ip. Go run the minecraft server and it should work, with that ip address.

the IP shown by ipconfig is only the ip address of your machine on the local network. OP was looking for his public IP.

[abclek213]

i cant find it in server.properties it says serverip=

[DesertedxEagle]

google what is my ip, put that number in the "ip-address=" slot in 'server.properties' next time you open the server program it should say "starting mine craft server on 'what ever your ip is':25565"

[greenjava823]

Is the "ip-address=" the same as the "server-ip=" or do we have to add it?

[SlyFoxxx]
