PRESS SHOW MORE!
I have been getting so many questions about the EXACT SAME ERRORS that I am not answering anything I have answered before. Read the comments and check the Q&A in the description.
Hey guys its Squeegee and I'm going to make this a series on making a minecraft server. let me just go over the basic questions and answers that people get problems with then they try to do this.

Q: Mine and yours look different, i cant find the pages i need in my router page
A: That sucks dude, try some troubleshooting, this the only thing i really cant explain more, if i made a tut on every router it would take years.

Q: Says something about my lan ip being wrong?
A: Ya i thought so, just go through the IPCONFIG stuff and try some other numbers there, this part is a little different for everybody, trial and error

Q: It says that port is already bound?
A: Restart your modem and try again, make sure you clear anything in the port forwarding section

Q: Nothing seems like it is happening
A: Restart your router manually, by walking over to it, turning it off, and resetting it by hand

Q: When i run my server it says (x) error
A: Watch my next tut, if i dont cover it in that episode, then post your issue there anyway.

Q: server runs fine but people cant connect ;'(
A: Make sure you went to IPchicken and gave them THAT ip, and then double check your steps on the port forward

Q: k yeh did that but they still cant connect
A: ok comment and tell me what error they are getting, what the server console says when you start it and when they try to join

Q: other
A: comment do not pm me unless it takes more than 24 hours

umm... no its not easy you did good but you have different settings so everyone probably got stuck on the first step

@MrLolbunnykiller Bro it takes very simple problem solving to do it even with a different modem. If you can not handle these basic steps you are not fit to run a server. I honestly can not make a tutorial for other modems, or hold your hand and wipe your ass for you.

@MrFluzzard it makes unicorns come down from the sky. if you dont know what it does, dont u think you shouldn't do it?
