Server 1.1

[sam-the-man]

Hi its don. I have made a working server for minecraft 1.1. You might remember when i tried to make one in beta 1.8 but it failed if you would like to join, the ip is 192.168.1.73 btw I won't be running the console a lot during the week, mostly at weekends. So you won't be able to join the server a whole lot. But the first 5 people to join will be made op and given game mode 1 for a bit to start your house. Bear in mind its a survival server though thanks -don btw if you want more detail email me at toveysam@yahoo.co.uk

You know, people outside of your LAN can't join using your local area network IP thingiemajig

^that. plus if you want to run it externally you'll need to forward the proper ports on your router. then go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ to get the ip we can access your server at.

Jakal, that doesn't give the right IP. You should be looking for an external IP address, but that one supplied me with my internal IP address.

BTW, from my experience all IPs that start with 192.168 are internal.

That is the IP address of the machine that requested the page. Typically this is your own IP address. If you used a router/proxy you may not get the correct IP address. If you use a home router to connect to the Internet (or your company has a proxy), the IP address shown may be address of your router or proxy. If you use a router and you want to run a server on your computer, you may need to place your computer in the DMZ settings of your router, or enable port forwarding on your router. If you have a network connection that gets a dynamic IP address and you want to give it a domain name so people can reach it easier, you might be interested in Dynamic DNS.

If you would like to look up a domain name and get information about the host, you may look it up by doing a whois search.
To see if your IP address has a Domain Name associated with it, you can do a reverse lookup.

The commands below will show you the IP address of your computer. If you use a home router to connect to the Internet, the IP shown from these commands will not be your public IP address (it will be your internal IP address). Internal usually IP address start with a 10.10 or 192.168.

Windows 2000, XP:
Start/Run:
Enter in the command: cmd
At the command prompt enter in: ipconfig

Vista, WIndows 7:
Go to the command prompt by select the Windows logo and in the search box entering:
cmd
From the command prompt enter in the command: ipconfig

On Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, if you'd like to know your MAC address (physical hardware address of a your network card), at the command prompt you can enter the following command:
getmac -v

On Mac OS X:
1. Click on the Mac logo on the top left of the screen.
2. Open System Preferences
3. Under Internet and Network, click 'Network'
4. Select which adapter, such as AirPort or Ethernet.
5. Select TCP/IP and you'll see your IP address.. If you receive a dynamic IP address from your internet provider, it will likely be different on your next session. So if you need your IP address for later use, please check when you log on for that session.

So, say I'm using a home router plugged into the wall from what I assume is an apartment building-wide modem(or something, they don't tell us how our internet works) I've forwarded the port to my server, but I still can't get it to work anyway but locally. I knew that ipconfig would give me my local ip so I used what's my ip assuming it would give me the proper external ip. is that correct because I've forwarded the ports in my router? or is there some way I can find the correct ip for my server to work outside of my local area network?

[sam-the-man]

So the ip won't work? It says my router ip is 192.168.1.73 which is the ip i thought worked

[sam-the-man]

THE SERVER NOW WORKS! THE IP IS 86.177.212.101 IT WILL BE ON 24/7. THIS IS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM VERY HAPPY! so yeah. The server works.

[sam-the-man]

by the way, sometimes the server crashes for hours on end because it needs rebooting and I'm not always around to do that. Does anyone know how i can automatically update my server and automatically reboot it?
thanks -don

[sam-the-man]

New IP! the ip is 86.173.194.71

[sam-the-man]

New ip again. IP is 109.157.88.68

If your ip keeps changing, why not register a dynamic dns?
http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-pro-free-trial/
This automatically updates your changed ip, and users only have to remember a dns name. (ie: donwittham.dyndns.org)

Free trial is not time limited, just feature limited and its enough for what you need

[Gazoid]

How'd you do that when you have a .com then?

Like how you do mc.maxloader.nl ?

Cant do that automatically i believe, well maybe there are ways for it but dyndns.org does... maybe you have to install some kinda software that reports to the dyndns server with your outside ip to keep it updated.
Officially my ip is also dynamic but it doesn't/rarely changes.
It changed when i got a new router, but when we spoofed the old router's MAC adress we got our old ip back so it seems my isp gives out ip's based on your mac or something. (or my lease wasn't expired on that mac yet)
