RECOMMENDATIONS
===================
* Your server may not even be running; try connecting to it on this computer: run /connect 127.0.0.1:27910 in console
* Your server's port may not be forwarded; make sure you forward your ports for UDP port 27910 (and make sure it's set to the right computer address)
* Your server's port may be firewalled; make sure you allow port 27910 through your firewall
Im really not sure if i did the static ip address right because it never told me just what exactly my static ip address is. is it? if so where does it tell me? Yes my server was running, and the firewall was even off.
