do you have the full game? if you don't have the bought verson then some sever's won't let you play
which ip are they using to get into your server. you have TWO
-one for local
-one for interwebs
go to command prompt
-" ipconfig "
mine says IPv4...192.168.0.##
thats my local which is what you would use if your connected to the same router as me.
now if you want to make it over the internet you have to go to your router
-192.168.0.1 is usually your default router page. type it in on your address bar on an internet program.
port forwarding
open a port minecraft port 25565 25565 and then the local area ip your using for the server..192.168.0##
if you created a port. then you can join using the internet ip address from your computer. and so could anyone else.
