Line 2:
=Get a domain name=
Your friends may already be able to connect to your server from the outside world. Give them your IP (if you don't know it, then http://www.whatismyipaddress.com tells you). They should use the IP address without http:// in front, i.e. in the form <nowiki>###.###.###.###</nowiki>
If you want a more memorable address, you can get one for free at http://www.dyndns.com/
Line 11:
If you used a port other than the default port 32160 tell them that too.
You can also release a modified client, keeping in mind the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GPL license].
=Trouble Shooting=
''Disclaimer: You should only change advanced network settings such as router settings, firewalls and other security features if you really understand the risks.''
*Perhaps you didn't configure your modem or router to have port 32160 open? Check that. Often you can modify your router settings by opening a web browser and typing in your local IP address. It will be something like http://192.168.2.1 .. try that or any 192.168.?.? with lowish numbers. If you get stuck on this step, open a command prompt and type ipconfig (for Windows) or ifconfig (for Linux/Unix), you should find out your internal router IP there.
Line 21 ⟶ 23:
*Perhaps you have a firewall blocking incoming connections? Check that.
*Perhaps it is your Internet Service Provider
