Old PC --> server - cr33pyguy - 11-23-2012
OK, did not really know where to post this, so move it if you need.
So, im making my old PC a server, for now a minecraft one.
It's actually quite simple. All you have to do, is preferably quit all the running un needed programs. then, set up whatever you want to host.
After that all you need to do is portforward. If you do not know how, see www.portforward.com
OK. Let's say you got it. Also remember to delete the un needed files, to give more space to the hosted thing to run.

Thank you sir.

your welcome
Anyways, at least it is useful, and not just stored somewhere just collecting dust.
