Step 1: Getting JDK

First go to this link

http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Then select the FIRST version \'online\'. And basically thats it once it is downloaded you now have JDK. Its really as simple as that no need to explain further.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: GETTING A NO-IP

This is probably the easiest part of making a server. How you do this is go to

www.no-ip.com

once you are there sign up and log in and under HOST/ REDIRECTS click \'ADD\'

and fill it in like this

Where it says SERVERNAME thats what you need to fill in. so it would be for example

Testingscape

then on the drop down box select your hostname lets say we want it to be .no-ip.biz

so we would select no-ip

Testingscape.no-ip.biz

now DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE click add host. and thats it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3:DOWNLOADING NO-IP

Great now after selecting your hostname on the no-ip.com go to \'DOWNLOADS\' and you should pop up to a screen similar to this

Click that and you should pop up to a screen like this

Click download.

Now once it is downloaded sign in with your username and password for no-ip if it did not auto sign in. You can do this by on the no-ip screen the little one click \'EDIT\' then sign in and your IP\'s should pop up like this

Check mark the place before the IP you want to use.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: Getting a server source (base)

Go to silabsoft homepage (Silabsoft.org/smf) and go to the downloads section.

Now for the sake of example I am going to pick my server source. (Cryptchaos) You can choose it or anyone you want. Figmentscape is a good source also.

Find the download link if your using Cryptchaos it will be at the very bottom of the 1st topic.

Once you downloaded ANY source it should be in .zip or .rar format, You should have winRAR now it should pop up to a screen like this

Click the extract button and extract it to desktop

Now it should pop up to a regular folder on your desktop. Open your folder.

Step 5: Getting rid of the 'Cannot find specified path error'

Once you have your source folder open try to click the 'run' or 'runserver' or whatever it says and if it says something like cannot find specifed path or a java website pops up go back to your 'run' file and...

Right click > Edit > and paste this code

[codebox]
@echo off
title YOUR SERVER COMPILER
color 0a
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_0#\bin\*********" -cp .;.jar server
pause
[/codebox]

Where it says '0#' the # is your java version we downloaded 'JDk6u7' so you would fill in 7 if that does not work try 6.

Now if that still does not work then we need to get your computer to read it. Go to

My computer

Under System Tasks

View system information

System properties should pop up go to

Advanced

then

Environmental Variables

User variables

Click 'NEW' and name it CLASSPATH

paste this code into it

[codebox]CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_0#\bin;%CLASSPATH%;[/codebox]

Again replace the # with the version of java you have.

Again under 'user variables' name it PATH

And paste this code in

[codebox]
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_0#\bin
[/codebox]

Again replace the # with your version of java.

Click ok on both screens.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6: Portforwarding and Opening the default port '43594'

Go to

start > all programs > accessories > command prompt

and Type 'IP config'

Once you press 'enter' you should see something like this

You want your 'Default gateway' and your 'IP address'

Go to your browser and click put your default gateway in. I have a netgear so its 192.168.1.1 and Lynksys is the same to I believe.

It will come up to a password screen

Enter your username and password for your router.

This is a short list of passwords and usernames by default

USERNAME: admin
PASSWORD: admin

USERNAME: admin
PASSWORD: password

USERNAME:
password: admin

USERNAME: admin
PASSWORD:

once you are logged in if your using netgear it should look similar to this. If you are not you need to find your portforward page by yourself or use

Portforward.com

Now assuming you have netgear router click portforward / porttriggering

(This was taken after I filled it out use your imagination and cancel out the one there)

it should pop up to a screen Click 'ADD CUSTOM SERVICE' and fill it out similar to this

It really does not matter what name you put Ive portforwarded with names like

RSPS
Moparscape
Silab
Silabsoft

--------------
FOR OTHER USERS THIS IS HOW YOU WOULD FILL IT IN TO JUST DIFFERENT FORM'
--------------

Congratulations you portforwarded now go to your firewall

Start > Control panel > Firewall > exceptions
