I think you just have to run the game to create a local server then try to connect another client to your server's IP.
Not here for a while due to some troubles between my graphic card and Minetest.

No need to download anything, just open minetest from command line with "--server" option.

For win7/vista: click Start, type "cmd", hit enter, type "cd <MINETEST-DIR>" (where <MINETEST-DIR> is the minetest directory ;D), enter, type "minetest --server", enter.

Remobo and hatachi are programs that create VPN easily.

all these are overcomplicated..you can either port forward or use a vpn (remobo or hamachi)

for running a server stick the bat file from the wiki in your bin folder and just run it

If you can think it, you can make it.

PS: there should be a REAL server program that replaces the "advanced" tab in the game

You can use Windows+R to open the "Run" window, then type cmd, then cd into MT's bin directory, then type "minetest.exe --server".

You can add lines in minetest.conf, if they're valid they will be read. :)

I write it just under SERVER things and it gives me the same error....
I wrote this:
#world_gameid = mesetint

under the server things.... Can someone make me an config file, where everything is right?
Thanks guys..

# means you are putting that line as "comment", which won't have any effect on the game. Remove it.
Also, don't write in minetest.conf.example, which is never read by the game, write in minetest.conf.
