How to get your server online (Port forwarding)

[Pixie]

If you already know how to port forward, than I will make this quick for you:

Port: 43594
Both, TCP and UDP

Now, for those of you who do not know how to port forward:
NOTE: This video is not mine.
2ndNOTE: The IPV4 IP Address step is not needed for some people.

This wont be sufficient to people who actually don't know how to port forward.

Nice job!! Useless to me since i've already port-forwarded.. oh wait. that was on my old pc.. Why do you need to port forward again?

To get it online, so friends can connect.
I don't think you need to port forward if you use something like Hamachi, or No-IP
But I do know that you need to allow the ports into your firewall.

Hmm. So i can portforward AND use hamachi?

I prefer using No-IP, but my computer doesn't need any of those (I don't think it does), because my friend connected to my private server, and no-ip wasn't open, and he used my actual IP

[Arhk]

Unless you have dial-up where your IP changes frequently where it wouldn't be worth your time changing or updating your IP every time you login. You can make a server without hamachi, the only reason you wouldn't be able to host something from your computer is if your ISP has a restriction on a certain port your trying to use, this can be a case with common ports used for torrents and port 80 since your ISP might want you to pay extra to be able to host webservices on your connection (or want you to not be able to at all)....

Having a vid is really unneeded considering there's only about 5 steps to portforwarding.

Also for people too stupid to know this, make sure your windows firewall has the ports you want to use open, if you don't have a router just make sure your windows firewall is not blocking your program, by making sure the ports it needs are open.

Portforwarding and using Hamachi is pointless since Hamachi doesn't need any ports open since it links all the computers on a network meant to simulate a physical network between the connected computers (viruses can be spread easily amongst Hamachi networks, since security measures are degraded for the cause of emulating a Local network connection).
No-IP is preferred because it allows you to use a static name in place of your IP, and has an update client (its a download) to make sure your No-IP and current IP are coordinated.
