how do I port it?  

[Xilo The Odd]

port forwarding you mean?  

[Alice Mikucup]

If you can give us the make and model of your router, Xilo and I should be able to get you decent step by step instructions on what you need to do.

That's my router
my modem is
SB5120
SURFboard
Cable Modem
(Motorola)  

[Xilo The Odd]

whats the model number on the router?  

[Kuzodav]

BEFW11S4 ver.4  

[Xilo The Odd]

here how to get into your router and change the port forward settings. the ports listed are incorrect cause the site doesn't list them. onyx should have the ports though

edit: he sent me the port

25565

both TCP and UDP  

[Alice Mikucup]

You'll need port 25565 and you'll need to make sure it's classified as TCP/UDP.

And if you have issues with people disconnecting after you've got it set-up I have some decent instructions on how to help stabilize a server here.

Edit: Damned lack of an automerge... Facepunch has spoiled me.  

[Kuzodav]

what is this i don't even.
i don't have a password nor an account for my router. and it says i need to log in.  

[Xilo The Odd]

hold on lemme find the default login info


username: blank
Passowrd: admin


try that  

[Alice Mikucup]

Try admin for the username and a blank password. Admin should be lowercase too, btw. If that doesn't work then try a blank username and admin as the password.

soooooo how many nerds does it take to host a server?  

[Alice Mikucup]

I dunno. I mostly managed mine myself. With a little help of course. You helped me with the ports cause I always forget that and someone on Facepunch gave me instructions on making my server more stable.
