What's a Port?
In this and the next appendix, you'll see references to network ports and Minecraft's
default port of 25565. A port is just an agreed-upon number that lets computers
communicate over a network. For example, browsers use ports 80 and 443 to talk
with web servers.
When you first run it, LogMeIn will ask you to join or create a network:
You'll want to create one. I named mine
andys_minecraft_server
:
And we're up and running!
Now tell your friends to download the same software and join your network
with the name you picked (like
andys_minecraft_server
).
