How to make a LOCAL WI FI server.

[SpiritOfDeath]

Me and my sister prefer to play by ourselves, and i dont want to port forward the router, if there is another way to set up a server, can you please tell me

try hamachi

You don't need to portforward if you are playing locally over WIFI. Just run the server and have the other person play on your local IP

[SpiritOfDeath]

Someone please tell me a very detailed tutorial, i am just failing so badly, someone explain to me step by step with overuse of detail.

If you don't want to port forward try hamachi, there are many tutorials on YouTube.

First off you most likely wont have to port forward because its already on the same network, unless you have some weird setup. If you've downloaded the Minecraft Server program and run it, all your sister needs to do is type "localhost" as the IP and it should work. If it doesn't you'll probably have to go to your router and find your local IP to type in. If you need a more specific tutorial, Google will be your best friend (Although Google should already be your best friend). And if this doesn't work use Hamachi, it is the easier way to go about doing this.

What issues are you having?

[D3matt]

Using hamachi for a local network WILL NOT work very well, and is not an easier way for this or anything else.

There are literally like 3 steps: Download tekkit server. Run launch.bat. Open command prompt and type ipconfig to get the server's local IP. Connect to this IP with tekkit client. Fine, 4 steps. But still not difficult.

When i open the bat file i get:

error occured when installing VM

Could not reserve enough space for object heap

could not create the java virtual machine

a fatal exception has eccored, program will now close

[SpiritOfDeath]

Please help i am desperate. I know that this is against the rules (bumping fourms)

[LazyBoot]

Have you installed java?

[SpiritOfDeath]

You need to have Java installed on the server.....
