Guide:Setting up a Terraria server

Hi and welcome in my step-by-step guide on setting up a Terraria server using the dedicated server software. No Hamachi necessary!

Setting up your computer
The first thing we need to do is to discover your IP address, in order to do that click on the start button, then click on your search bar (or run button if you are using Windows XP) and type 'cmd', press enter. It will bring up a little command window. Type 'ipconfig' and press enter. You will see a whole bunch of words and numbers but just scroll back to the top. Under the top one which is usually 'Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection' or if you have a wireless connection 'Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 2' find 'IPv4 Address' which is yours computer IP address on the local area network, this is not the external ip address which is what we are going to get later.
