Re: Local server?
your teacher did port forward and started the server with that file..
u could use software to host but it wont work in local , it works with friends
if other people install the software and add u , a server will be created but not a local one..
there is only 2 ways to get a local server
- u port forward it
- ask someone to host it

Hello...
A suggestion:
For a very basic MineTest server you can use minetesthosting.com as some people have posted in the Server topic...
It has everything you wanted:
- no port forwarding involved
- local and basic server
- easy to take care of
And it all starts by signing in, creating a world, selecting the no-pay basic plan, etc...

Re: Local server?
If all of the computers are on the same network, there should be no need to portforward. Just connect to the ip (The network one, I think starting with 192, not the global one. My terminology here is probably inaccurate!)/hostname of whichever computer is running the server, and everything should work. Should be as simple as that!
