I am sick of reading novel-length threads and wikis on how to get your server software working properly. I've tried so many different things here on my home network and I simply cannot get anyone to connect to me. It's caused many migraines and I think it would just be much easier if we could rent servers for a decent price, a month.
That way I can have a permanent IP to connect to and play on and I don't have to bash my face into a wall every time I try to get this to work. :smile.gif:
When I say I've tried a ton of things, I mean I have.
It isn't a suggestion because renting servers has nothing to do with Minecraft, Mojang, or Notch. It has to do with a company that rents out server space, many of which already exist.

Well, MineCorpus. You make a very startling and well described claim.
Now I personally understand the sentiments on having to read multiple different lengthy posts related to setting up a server properly.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd like about 340 pages of your time describing, in length, the various possible usages of TCP/IP parameters, configurations. The topography of networks, the design structure and how it applies to you and Minecraft. We must also discuss routers, ports, port forwarding, and firewalls in greater detail.
The router is a device which takes your incoming and outgoing messages and properly finds the route to the destination. They are the recommended device for while switches and hubs operate similarly, they are very different devices which handle data in different ways.
These topics must all be understood before we go in detail about setting up the router to handling multiple connections to your computer; how to properly handle port forwarding through your router; and what limits you should expect on your computer hardware.
I will go over these details in good time, in the mean time, I recommend you read up on CCNA documentation (only 300 or so pages of material) or subscribe to a few courses(about 6~8 weeks of your time) as this may make your understanding of the documentation more palatable.
This is an engrossing topic, and I will state more should you wish in subsequent posts. I will truncate and yield the remainder of my time for the sake of brevity.
If you googled, you would have companies willing to do so.
And setting up servers is easy.
1. Download the .exe
2. Go to 192.168.1.2 (or whatever your router is set to) - click on port forward - forward port 25565 (as both TCP and UDP)
(note:if the router webpage asks for a username, the default is "admin" and the default password is "password")
Setting up a minecraft server isn't hard. At all. Honestly I'm kind of surprised anybody decided to have a "how to create a server" tutorial, may as well also have a "how to start minecraft" tutorial.

1. Not a suggestion
2. Requested Notch
Yes I am a ____________ Miner.
Yes I have no profile picture.
Yes that is a bad idea.
There, I edited the main topic. And it is a suggestion. I don't see how it isn't.
