I used the guide to set up a public server by Sticky. Excellent guide and my server seems to actually be working. The problem is now that I can see my server on the server list but I can't log into it. I also had a friends try and he can't log in either. I belive after much reading that it is a LAN issue with my IP addresses (I hope). The guide slightly touches on port forwarding and that seems to be where I may have lost my steam. Honestly I am rather terrible with this stuff and that the guide got me this far is a testimate to how good it is.
I am fine with making a public server mainly because the best guide was for making one.I would have prefered to make a minilogin but I have looked and it becomes hard to see what I need to change from the public server guide to get there. So I am looking for the most painless way to get me and my buddy playing and any help would be appreciated.
