Can somebody make a server for my friend and I (Diablo27 and Nathan5687)? He and I are really stumped on how to make it ourself and every time we get close to setting it up there are more problems. It would be a great help to us because we've waited so long for him to get Minecraft and now this.

Well, you could always go on the Escapist Minecraft server, it's pretty much always deserted. At least, when I visit.

I should probably update my house...

What I've done:
1. First get Hamachi (a free network emulation program), set up a network on it, then both log on to that network
2. Download the Minecraft_Server.exe from Minecraft.net
3. Run it once, then after to generates a world close it
4. Go into the Server properties file (open with a text program like notepad)
5. Change the value of "server-ip" to whatever your Hamachi network's ip is
6. Change "white-list" to true
7. Go into the white-list text file and add you and your friend's names
8. Go into the ops text file and add at least your name (this lets you use server commands)
9. Run the Minecraft_Server.exe again
10. Run Minecraft.exe and go to Multiplayer, enter the Hamachi IP address, and have fun.

Did he get Hamachi and log onto the network you set up? If so, did you add him to the White-List?Diablo27 said:So I sent that post when I tried it and it work but it was like 2:00am so my friend was in bed. He just tried it and whaddaya know?

The problem with Hamachi is that it can run slow. I suggest getting Bukkit, since it runs faster and you can use the huge library of plugins.TheEverix said:
However, Hamachi can do the job for now.
I agree that Hamachi isn't the best set up, but OP was asking how to get one up for just him and a friend, and in my experience it's definitely the easiest way to get one running, and runs well enough for 2 or 3 people. I actually run Bukkit, but use Hamachi to bypass port forwarding on my home network (and is the ONLY reason I use it, if I didn't need it, I'd run the server clean).TheYellowCellPhone said:
I have to admit, I've never had a speed problem with it, but I've never had more than 3 people on at once. Maybe that only becomes an issue at higher numbers?
