    A few days ago i made a bukkit server. Everything was going fine, until i told my friends to join and they said they couldn't connect. I was able to connect through the ipv4 address just fine. My friends couldn't connect through my external ip address. I port fowarded corrected, and windows firewall is off. However, when i go check to see if my port is open for my ip address it says port 25565 is closed on 192.168.x.x
    Here is my server file if there is anything wrong with it

    Yes I am giving my friends my external ip address not the local one, only I use the local one

    My server ip is
    172.251.7.242:25565
    My friends cannot connect to this, and this is the external ip and i have port fowarded correctly. I have my server currently off right now if you would like me to turn it on just tell me :)

    I can only connect through my local host only. Not the external ip.

    Forgot to click reply button

    It said
    Error: I could not see your service on 172.251.7.242 on port (25565).

    But I'm 100% sure that i port foward correctly, so it's not a router issue.

    Have any firewalls on your computer/router? If so, try looking through them to see if the port/program is allowed.

    Yes I made it so port 25565 is allowed
     
  11. @Projester99 Screenshot your port forwarding

    You have either not port forwarded correctly or your firewall is blocking connections

    The portforwarding looks correct, are you sure you actually added it to the right machine?

    What do you mean right machine? i port fowarded to my ipv4 address
     
  15. @Projester99
    Well in the portforward configuration you have to add your local ip, in your network (starts with 192.168.1...), not your external ip. Are you sure you have done this correctly? Can you show us the list with devices using this portforward?

    Projester99

    Yes I am using my local ip address. you can see the list in the screen shot i have posted it shows the list of device names
     
  17. @Projester99 Can you do 'ipconfig' in cmd and then screenshot it.

    Your server-ip MUST be set to your PCs IPv4 Address. Sounds silly, but that points the server to a host (you).
    Once that's set, port forward on your router, or a Network firewall if you have one. Connect to the server with your External address and a semicolon, then port (i.e xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25565)

    enable-query should be set to true. It just works better that way. Default query port when enabled is 25565

    If you don't have a lot of people playing on this server (20 or less), set the max-players to 20.

    If you need any more help, PM me.

    Do you have two routers? i know youre thinking no but some motems have a build in router. Does your ISP provide a free wifi plan with your internet? If you so then you have two routers, Your router may be port forwarded but not your motem/router
