For those having same problem as chilaaa, we've solved it off-forum, here is the solution:

1) create folder C:\tass (or any other folder name with name length <= 8 chars, just to make sure)
2) unzip TASServer.zip to it
3) run cmd.exe and go to C:\tass
4) run server like this:
C:\tass\java -cp . TASServer
(note that there is space before "-cp" and after "-cp", and also after "."

This should work.

Yay, it finnally works, Unfourtunately I can't join my server now that it's working, I get a bad username or password error, and to make things worse, I can't even use my name online anymore. Any username I try to use for the Lan server, stops working for internet! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Ect... I'm hoping you'all have some idea as to whats going on, as I have none. I didn't even think the Lan server needed a password.

I think you're messing everythings...are you sure to have the right adress in the "server adress" box?
At least, my lan server don't ask me for a password, and don't interfere with the my net account.

You get bad username/password because your username contains some bad (illegal) characters. Try using only letters, numbers and underscore.
Also, make sure you are running LanServer.bat and not Server.bat. Or if you are running it manually, don't forget to use -lan option.

Ok, the -lan thing was my problem it all works now. Though I still wonder why that would affect my online username. It had no Illegal characters, I'd been using it long enough to get to rank 5. "Localfiend" - don't think there's anything wrong with that. And for other people reading this who have had any of the same problems I made up another batch file because I'm to lazy to type to set up my server every time. Just put these lines in your batch.

REM press CTRL+C to stop server
REM I like cheese
java -cp . TASServer -lan|tee TASServer.log

That's because account Localfiend does not exist, but LocalFiend does though.
