I do not know how to make my rednet broadcasting go worldwide when I type a message. I'm a little new to this so if you would bare with me on this. I do not know if it's possible, or if there's already programs out there to make it worldwide. If there is please give me a link with a working download.

Thanks,
diamondpumpkin.

You can extend the rednet range if you control the server. It'll go up to a hundred thousand blocks or so, if I recall correctly. I'd suggest creating a repeater network at the top of the world, though. Rednet range gets up to about 384 blocks at sky limit, so a few repeaters can give you quite a large range.

Or you could use LyqydNet or IPnet (does not work at the moment)

As I said, new at this. Not a clue what any of that means.

In your .mcn folder there is a folder config. Open it. ou'll see a file called computercraft, Open it. Somewhere in the configs you'll see rednet distance. Change it. Tadaaa
