Hello everyone!
A couple of weeks ago i made my own Minecraft server, just for private purposes on my own computer (using the original server "program" from minecraft.net). I have a Mac, and everything has worked out well. There is just one problem, I want other people on the same network as I to be able to connect too. For that you will need an IP-adress. I´m not a computer engineer, but from what I have understood you will need the IP-adress from that singe computer the server is running on, not the network IP (which you can easily find out from sites like whatsmyip.org). On a PC you just write Ipconfig in the "command window". The Mac counterpart to CMD is called Terminal. Is there anybody who knows what to write in terminal, or how to get the same information in any other way?
This was kind of hard for me to explain in english, but I hope at least someone understands my problem.
