| Nov 9, 2017 at 18:39 | comment | added | Keaanu | Updated to add information about self-hosting LAN sessions. Since Minecraft_Server.exe isn't available anymore, I also updated the instructions to use the still-available minecraft_server.jar instead. | |

Minecraft_Server.exe is no longer available for download; updated instructions to the .jar version and removed dead links. Also added a snippet for easy hosting of local servers, and methods for connecting to the server from both inside and outside of the local network.

| Sep 3, 2012 at 3:13 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | Can you update this? The answer to this question (considering the whole thing, not just the title) is different and simpler now that Minecraft can self-host a LAN session. | |
| Sep 20, 2011 at 8:05 | comment | added | Kurley | @SevenSidedDie - Fair enough, I guess I should have said "will probably need". | |
| Sep 19, 2011 at 23:59 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | @Kurley Not necessarily. Many modern network cards will detect a direct ethernet connection over a "straight" (non-crossover) cable and make the necessary pinout crossover internally. | |

| Apr 9, 2011 at 8:15 | comment | added | Kurley | Technical note, if you're connecting 2 computers together directly (without a hub switch or router) you need a crossover cable rather than a standard ethernet cable. | |

added suggestion for last resort (worked for me!)

| Apr 9, 2011 at 6:30 | comment | added | Keaanu | Minecraft adds :25565 on the end by default. So long as you don't change the port, adding it explicitly is redundant. | |

I think you need a port number on the end. I believe the default is :25565 or something like that. It can be changed in the server.properties file.

| Apr 9, 2011 at 5:10 | comment | added | Rachel | Everytime my friend tries connecting to my machine I get a message that he logged in but he is stuck at the Logging In screen. After he disconnects due to a timeout, the server throws an error and my entire internet goes down. Do you know why this is? | |
