That's odd. I wrote a reply to you yesterday and either I didn't click save or someone deleted it. Anyway have you read/viewed all of the following?

1. Start the server on a port (set in minetest.conf as port = ####)
2. Find the internal LAN IP of the computer the you are running the server on (example: 192.168.1.100)
3. Use port forwarding from the router to forward port #### to the internal LAN IP
3.a If any firewalls are present, they must allow the port to pass traffic as well.
4. Let your friends know what your internet IP is (you can find this by looking at your router's status page or go to a site such as whatismyip.com).
The biggest trouble you will run into is this:
>3.a. If any firewalls are present, they must allow the port to pass traffic as well.
and this:

Like I was trying to say before setting up a Minetest server is a difficult business. That's why if you don't have extremely specific questions, most of the experts (I'm not one) are going to think you are floundering around and it will be a tremendous amount of work to help you. You kind of need to show them you have really done your homework and if they lend you a hand they aren't going to get pulled into a big hole of questions. At this point you are still asking very general questions that show you are still grasping at straws (Like I would be).
I agree, but kudos to the guy who did create the video. Everything helps. I just wanted to create a server behind my firewall, so I could play multiplayer at home but gave up as it looked like it might be too involved as well. Did you have any luck doing that?ThAxUnforgiven wrote:ive read all of it and dont get it, a voiced tutorial or atleast a good one would b better, not the youtube one.

Otherwise, A LAN server if safe.
