Cant run minecraft off ms server virtual machine!

[Pedro31]

Im trying to run minecraft server of a microsoft server 2008 r2 Standard Virtual Machine for me and a couple of friends, I whant to use a vm because my desktop wastes a lot of energy, so if Im not home I can esaly run it off the laptop. Im even thinking of getting a small external ssd or put the vm in a cloud (probably google since it offers 15gb) to make the transition esier. Im pretty sure I did everithing righ but it still dosent work.

first thing, why are you using log me in, every vm has there own remote desktop software.

 

What hypervisor are you using?

 

Why are you running 2kr2, id run 2k12r2

 

Id buy(first year free for small ones) aws and give it a shot;

Do I need to make a list of things I dont understand? first off it turned out to be a tuneling problem on the clients side.

Im not using log me in Im using log me in hamachi, it creates a virtual ip address, I have a crappy isp provided router with a 3 page manual and I cant figure how to port foward the god forsaken thing, also o might whant to run the server on the laptop outside hoem witch means using someone elses router.

By the way, whats: hypervisor,2kr2, 2k12r2?

hamachie is not the best to access a game server

it's slow and has connection problems, if you can run it off your public ip adress, most of your problems will go away, so try not to use it

if the server is in your network and not remote, type localhost as the ip adress when adding a server in minecraft, if it can see it, then it should be able to use your public ip adress, if not then check your network settings for the virtual system and see if it's configured correctly
