Need help setting up multiplayer server.
All I want to do, is setup a simple multiplayer server for me and my friend. No mods, nothing fancy. Whenever I open my world to multiplayer it says something about it not being able to use my external IP? Sorry, I'm kinda a noob. Thanks!

Hi GlacierStorm,
please check out this (https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer).
The Section Connecting to a Server Behind NAT should help you out.
To host a multiplayer game on your LAN's machine, you need to tell your friend
your external ip address and change your routers settings to forward all UDP traffic from port 34197 to your machine.
In most cases your ISP will provide you with a dynamic ip address, which changes from time
to time. You can look up your ip address here: http://myip.is/.
If your ip address changes very often, you could think about using free dynamic dns services
