Peter Bennet NOW ONLINE Administrator Posts: 2554 Thank you received: 341	Well there's a thing, just powered up his computer, checked the server log, deleted the content to give me a fresh start ran the server powered up Minecraft and it was working! Quite what that's all about I guess we'll never know! That's with the internal IP I'll tentatively try the external next - hopefully it'll work too and we can have one happy son. Peter

Bukkit (bukkit.org/) is a customisable Minecraft server, lots of modifications are available and quite a lot of fun can be had! Also available is the Tekkit pack (www.technicpack.net/tekkit/), a few of us SimSIg players have spent many hours building stuff on that!

Yes I found another video this morning while eating my Cheerios that seemed to explain that I'd been living under a misaprehension over what IP goes where. Where the difficulty appears to lie is that my conenction seems to drop in and out at random leading me to conclusions that were not correct.

Another evening of fighting computers tonight I fear......

Peter.

P.S I'll maybe post the link to that video elsewhere as in the first section it explains the whole issue of Port Forwarding and how to do it very well and I know that for SimSig users that's a regular question.

It's like SimSig - if you close the server, you close the session!
