So if it changes to 192.168.2.6, you'll have to change those two 4's to 6's.Īpply the changes, and if your router page has a " Restart Router" option, do that. Everytime the IPv4 changes, you'll have to change the info on the Virtual Servers page. And whenever the IPv4 address changes, the number at the end will change. As you see in the picture above this one, that is our IPv4 Address. And the last number is what we'll need.īack to the Virtual Servers page. The IPv4 Address is similar to your Default Gateway, except for the last number. If you've still got the Command Prompt open, look for " IPv4 Address". Before we add any information, we're gonna need to get one last piece of info from the Command Prompt. Now that we're on the Virtual Servers page, it's time to add in the necessary information to open the ports for your server, so other players can connect. Keep in mind, your router page most likely will be different than mine. KEEP THE COMMAND PROMPT UP! Trust me, we're gonna need another piece of information from it soon. Now that you've got your Default Gateway, punch that into your browser. The information we'll need for this step is the Default Gateway. Once Command Prompt opens, type ipconfig. PROTIP: An easier way to find out your router's IP page, is to go to Right-click it, and click Run as Administrator. Command Prompt should appear in the results. To do this, click your Start button, and in the search field, type " cmd".

You're going to need to find out what your router's page IP is. So let's begin Port Forwarding! For this guide, I'll be using my current router, a Belkin F5D7230-4. I personally used to have Bell Sympatico Lite, but with their service, my routers page was severely modified by Bell, which prevented me from changing Virtual Server information. Step can be either easy or hard, depending on who your internet provider is. So you've downloaded MCSharp (or whatever server program you've chosen). Seems the dev's have stopped working on it. MinerCPP is pretty good, but as of right now, it's dead. There's plenty to choose from, but for me, only 2 really stand out. Let's begin by selecting a server program to run your server on. Most of the pictures in this guide are huge, so be sure to click on all the images, as most of them are thumbnails. Well, since Citricsquid's guide at the top covers running a dedicated server, I figured I'd make a guide to help you in starting your own Minecraft server, using a server program like MCSharp or MinerCPP.įor the purposes of this guide, I will be (and currently am) using MCSharp.
