Whats the server IP?

So when i set my IP in the server.properties file it wouldn't run on the port. So i left that field blank and now it runs fine... it runs on "*:25565". What would I type to get onto my server?

 

*Assuming a standard home setup using a router with NAT*

For you or another computer on your local network, you would use its private IP address. Its typically a 192.168.1.xxx address.

For people outside your network, they would use your public IP address. You can get your public address by viewing this site http://www.whatismyip.com/. Assuming you have port forwarding setup correctly.

 

Yes, I have. So I connect via my private IP and others connect to the same server via my public IP?

 

Yes, exactly.

 

I got one of my friends to join via my Public IP address and it didnt work :L

 

did you portforward?

 

Yup it is port forwarded

 

you can connect via ur internal IP, right?

 

Yes, Im on it

 

just to be sure, u logged into ur router and portforaded and everyhting?

 

Yes...

Got any ideas?

You must of port forwarded wrong. Look here: www.portforward.com

 

hmmm... do you have a static internal IP?

and just to be safe, check the portforwarding again

 

We dont have a Static IP.

 

Please i need ideas :L

 

Use Hamachi.

 

static internal IP?

 

Hamachi sucks.

 

It may suck but, if you are having problems, you can use it for a short while so you actually have a server up.

If it is a large server then it may be awkward but if it is just a group of friends, it shouldn't be to much hassle.

 

Yes, we dont get Static IPs with our broadband.

 

http://no-ip.com download their automatic updater, and ti will update to your dynamic IP, just give them the free host you make that points to your IP.

 

What does it do?

 

dude, are u even reading what im saying?

i asked if you had a static INTERNAL ip adress. idc about ur extrenal one

 

I know thats what i am saying. We dont get INTERNAL Static Ip addresses.

 

Yes... But How will it help me? I don't get what it will do.

 

you have an ISP distributed router then?

 

Oh i get what it does.. But i cant use it, I dont have access to my homehubs settings at the moment.

Yes

so you cant set static internal IPs?

if you cant then your kinda stuck. you'd either need a new router, or a new ISP

 

But what i don't get is my friend port forwarded and people could join easily..... He has the same ISP as me.
