Well, I'm trying to play a few games online, but they require you to set up your own server, and I haven't a clue about how to do that, so by request (by KermM, of course) here's a topic on how to set up a server.

So basically you have a game like Freebuild, or UT2k4, or Minecraft, and you go to host a server, but no one seems to be able to connect to your server! I assume that's an accurate summary of your problem?

My specific problem is that I go to connect to another's server, and we realize no one's setup a server for the game, nor knows how to.
Sounds good. So basically, they need to forward their ports. This involves:

1) Figuring out the internal IP of the computer hosting the server
2) Figuring out what ports the game needs
3) In the NAT/router configuration for that person's house, forward those ports to that internal IP
4) Give everyone else the external IP of that house
