Create your own server on PO! [FOR DUMMIES!]

Here are the things you will need:
Pokemon online installed in your computer.
winRAR (If you don't have it you can google "winRAR")
A Computer

FIRST:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pogeymon-online/files/pokeymon-server.7z/download < Download this to winRAR

Click on this file in winRAR and click on Extract to > Extract to your Personal file > Once Extracted, Close winRAR > Go to the server file you just downloaded and open it > Find server.exe inside the server file and open > Once the server window is open click on Options > Go to config > Make the Main Channel name and Server name and click apply > Open Pokemon Online > Click on Go Online > On the bottom there is a advance connection, type in "localhost" without the quotes


If you can connect, try getting a friend to test out the connection. If either one of you or both of you can't connect you need to forward your port.


How to port forward.

Go to start > Type cmd in the search box > right click on cmd and choose run as admin > type in "ipconfig /release" without the quotes > Find your default gateway code > Open a browser > Put the code in the URL and hit enter > Enter your username and password (If you don't know, here is a site that can help http://www.routerpasswords.com/) > Once you login the port forwarding is somewhere in the site > If you can't find it try to google "how to port forward on Router brand/model"

Once you port forwarded, you need to access your server by advance connecting localhost (Remember: You need to have your server window up in order to have your server running)

That's good info. Too bad I'll never use it.
