    You've done all these steps in this forum post and video in it and still haven't been able to get friends to connect?
    Still getting that message 'Info: Shutting down world alpha'?

    Look no further!
    (This regards mostly Netgear router users)
    The problem is that even though you port forwarded to 21025, nobody questions, "What should i put for the ip address under
    the port forwarding boxes?"

    Everything in quotations is to be typed without quotations, just to be clear.

    1. Click Start
    2. Click Run
    3. Type "cmd"
    4. Type in the black box "ipconfig /all"
    5. Scroll upwards in the black box until you see something along the lines of "Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connction" or "Ethernet Adapter Wireless Connection" as a title (Depending on your connection settings).
    6. Under that designated title should be a line saying "IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . . . :#.#.#.# (Preferred)
    7. Go to your router settings where it asks for an ip address and type those specific numbers into the box(s).
    8. You are no longer stopped from friends joining!
