I really don't know how to host. I can't do it. I have been told to start a dedicated server to internet, and then close it and go in without dedicated. I've tried just sitting on a dedicated server console. I have done EVERYTHING, and it won't work.
Please Please Please will someone give me a GOOD checklist of what I have to do. I haven't downloaded anything, do I need to? like a host program or something? please help! Please, help... I'm so upset, I'd been trying this for months if not years, Im so upset. what firewalls do I need open? I have done some, and stuff. Please Please Please help.....
