Minecraft provides :25565 on the top by default. So long as you do not change the port, including it explicitly is redundant. - Keaanu Apr 9, 2011 at 6:30



Technical observe, if you're connecting 2 computer systems together immediately (and not using a hub swap or router) you need a crossover cable reasonably than a regular ethernet cable. - Kurley Apr 9, 2011 at 8:15

@Kurley Not necessarily. Many fashionable network cards will detect a direct ethernet connection over a "straight" (non-crossover) cable and make the required pinout crossover internally. - SevenSidedDie Sep 19, 2011 at 23:59
