Cool. I'm a little confused about the server thing. My son is mostly playing "single player mode" right now mostly because we don't get the whole server thing. I assume you have to find and connect to a server to play multiplayer. Where do you find servers and are they free?
a buddy of mine is a super nerd and sets it all up, we started a group called Krafters which has like 20 or so members right now, our server is hosted by a professional company but anyone can host a server from their own computer, although i have set up servers on my computer i never had the knowledge to keep it going, there are tons of videos on youtube that show you how to set one up
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it

There should be a Server app you can download from the Minecraft website. You can have a dedicated computer set up as the server, or you can just have it run in the background of your own computer. (Server IP would then just be 198.162.1.1xx depending on what the local IP of your host computer is.)
My wife and I did this for awhile, she quit playing after a few days though complaining that the first person view gave her motion sickness.
Are most of you building structures and what not? I usually just set up shop and explore caves. I haven't spent much time building elaborate buildings or mine tracks.
