also you will need to set the serverip= parameter in the server.settings file to the unique local network ip of that computer.
if the server is on 192.168.1.28 it should be set to that.
forward the port (default port is 25565) to that ip as well and you should be able to connect from anywhere. use the local ip if connecting from within the network and the remote ip from outside.
alright thanks guys, I found out that I have to forward my ports but that shouldn't be a problem because I'm using Airport Extreme as my router so its easy to do it on my mac. Hopefully ill be successful so I can play online with my friends
I got into Minecraft just about a week ago, and now I'm rather obsessed! I have a laptop and the graphics card doesn't do wonders so I have to have the render distance on short most of the time. I have just set up a server but it's not very interesting yet..
that really sucks. perhaps if you turn graphics to fast, opengl on, smooth lighting off, and performance to max fps, you can get your distance to normal.
my town is growing, although not very fast, theres only about 7 or 8 users, and only ever 2-3 on at a time.
right now we have a church, 5 houses, a mine, an almost finished collisseum, and an under construction castle. And not to mention the secret underground passages tunneling around underneath the town .
Anyone at MineCon? I am. A bit disappoint at the show floor, but the panels are what its all about. And so far it has been excellent.
When notch flipped the switch to release the game, I'm not sure what they expected to happen, but i knew. The servers crashed of course, and within minutes no one could log in or download the game. LOL.
All in all it's been good. One more day of panels. Love minecraft, and love the player / modder / and developer community. Really want to get in to some mod and bukkit plugin developing.
