Can you post the exact error?

[Lexil123]

Got it solved already,,
Now I need a good way to connect with it with hamachi...

[Erlend]

You don't need to configure anything with Hamachi, once you have downloaded Hamachi, started a network etc people can join and connect!

[Lexil123]

I mean, how to start..

Link: http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=<5.221.122.109>&port=<25565>\
aint really working..

[Erlend]

If your hosting a alpha server then i don't think you can have a pre-made url, for classic you can sign up your server on minecraft.net i think, and recieve a url.
