Change the server IP the player connects to when they press "join server"?
Placid:
You'd think it would work if you did the top option... After all, you're talking about a change in IP and you want that to stop happening or something, so just share the connection..?

Well, that's the thing, it was the top option when I was having problems... :cookieMonster:

I'm trying to get a virtual machine to work, so Off topic: Do you use Bootcamp? If not, VMWare fusion?
Red_Guy:
having done this kinda thing before.. here is what you need to do:
1) Set your VM to bridged mode. This will give it an address on your network.
Make sure this works before going any further. to test, you should be able to see your windows VM from a different PC on your home network. Your windows VM should also be able to access the internet. Check with the help and forums for your vm software if you have problems.
2) set your windows VM to a static IP address
3) port forward to this static IP address
4) host & enjoy
These steps work for me with vmware and various flavors of windows. Getting briged mode to work is the biggest step. once you get that, the rest is easy.

People keep saying to "port forward". I'm not using a router, so there is no need right?
