I don't know what's happening!

When my friends log on to my server, they say, "I can't log on." When I try to put my server on an Advertising List, it says, "Your server is offline." I don't know if I'm putting in the wrong port or I didn't put more Gs in my server? I can log on and my brother can log on, but other people in other networks can't.

 

lol. are you port forwarded? if not i can get you instructions on doing that. also what IP are you giving the sites/people?

 

Yes please! My IP is 129.168.1.11:25565 .

 

looks to me like its not port forward. do you need help with that?

 

If you and your brother who are on the same network (same household I assume, so yep) can see the server this is LAN. Friends and other players can't see the server because it hasn't been port forwarded, or it hasn't been done correctly.

Useful sites:

• Open Port Check Tool
• How to Port Forward a Minecraft Server
• NETGEAR, router specific port forwarding (an example of what steps you will probably need to take)

 

Yes I need help with that!

 

could not of said it better than my self!

 

I'm so so sorry! I just don't know what to do here. It always says my IP is this and that and it's weird. I can't find the website and there's no link.
