I have an interesting idea that would, if implemented properly, would change Minecraft multiplayer completely. What Team Mojang should work on is an in-game server hosting system.
If anyone remembers Half-Life, and I'm sure that all gamers who are over 18 do, there was an in-game server hosting feature. With it, you could create a LAN server based on the one router in the room. Seeing how me and my friends only can play LAN because the Half-Life global servers are long gone, we began thinking about Minecraft.
I have attempted to use such programs as Hamachi and Evolve to no avail for Minecraft private servers. Neither of these programs will work on my computer, nor is there any way to make them work. Port forwarding has also proven to be a highly difficult task and is not a viable route to creating a server easily or without large monetary expense. Something Team Mojang, or even an intrepid modder, since I'm lousy with the code currently, is develop an addition that either does the port forwarding within the game browser or uses the principles of LAN server hosting.

Um it is actually very easy...
Open up command prompt.
type in ipconfig.
find your IPv4 address.
Type your IPv4 address into the address bar on your web browser. a login box will show up.
Google search the username and password for your router. It varies based on what router you have, so googling it is the best way to find it.
go to a section labeled port forwarding/triggering, or somethign similar.
The rest pretty much explains itself.
Not helpful, but thanks for trying...
