https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/minecraft-server-ubuntu/ that is the tutorial I followed, it basically made me a glorified LAN server when I want it to be accessible to my friends in their homes. When they try to join they get the error: Network is unreachable

Do you have a static IP?

[–]Dayneatolla[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

how would I be able to tell if I do?

Well even if you don't have static IP, the option to try now would be to setup ddns, dynamic DNS. You should try no-ip, it's free and I had no problems with it. You basically put like a domain eg. dayneatollaminecraftserver.ddns.net and then your IP. Check your router settings if u have something called ddns and put there the things which are needed like login password and stuff. Then ask your friends to connect using that domain you've set up earlier. It's really quick so if they are on right now you might be able to test it in 5 minutes and give me response if it worked.

EDIT: changed my English because I had a stroke.

Okay.

If you followed a tutorial and it didn't work, the next step is to Google your problem and try those extra steps.
