At&t U verse 'specail port forwarding' for minecraft servers

[Saiytex]

About the 5th time ive edited o/p and I have finally narrowed my problem down to 1 thing... At&t U verse makes it close to impossible (but not fully) to port forward yourself... because they want you to pay 150$ USD for 'Technical Support' Ive googled so many floggin times... and ive yet to get anything but I know that it can be done. Their website looks like its possible to port forward but when you do the average port forward it basically returns itself back to its original state while looking like it worked

So any1 who hosts Mc with At&t U-Verse know the problem

Just host a regular lan server since you're on the same network.

I would but we got some friends from around who wouldn't mind playing as well.

Have him connect to localhost as the IP.

[Saiytex]

Have him connect to localhost as the IP.

it says connection refused... and if this did work... still woulnt let our friend play as well

[Extrude]

Have him connect to localhost as the IP.

Don't do that, go to cmd, and type ipconfig, then have him connect to your IPv4 address.

hit the start button
without doing anything else, type 'cmd' and press enter
wait for the stuff to stop initializing and then type 'ipconfig'
look for the words 'ipv4 address'
tell him the numbers
have him input them

What do IP addresses have to do with being a 'heavy minecraft player'
This all has to do with your computer.
