Hi.
I recently bought Minecraft Alpha, have have also been trying to create a server in multiplayer with friends.
One of my mates has created a server, and it works fine, but he is getting tired of always having to keep his computer running. So, I suggested to run it myself.
To do this, I have to port forward. I have tried to do this before on another modem for my xbox, and it works, but I needed an upgrade on my router.
I have set up a static IP for my computer that I want to run the server on, but whenever I try to port forward using the tutorials, I get up as far as clicking apply, and it gives me a dialog box saying "No1.WAN IP Address is invalid!".
No matter how hard i try, i can't find a solution to this problem anywhere.
My router is a Belkin F5D8636-4.
Any help is appreciated.
Thankyou.
