kurgaz Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hello everyone, I've been looking at a lot of tutorials and have successfully managed to set up a server which functions when I join via "localhost" However none of these tutorials tell me how my friend can join me. If someone can explain to me in a simple way or point me in the direction of a tutorial which shows this it would be of great help! Cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexizaur Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 He has to be on your IP then he has to type 'localhost'. But if you want him to join your server you'll have to port forward. There are tons of port forwarding guides on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurgaz Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 sorry for being a complete noob but what does port forwarding do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexizaur Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It opens a port so that people can connect to you. But if you totally have no idea what that is you might want to use Hamachi, it's much easier. (Google will help you out if you want to port forward.)
