This isn't really about Bukkit or Minecraft, but relates to port forwarding, which some of you know about. I managed to get port forwarding working, and ran a bukkit server for over a year. When you go to a port checker to see if its open, it shows 25565 as closed until I run my server. Only while its running does it show that the port is open. why? I ask because I am trying to do port forwarding for a different game, and I cant tell if the ports aren't forwarded correctly, or if the game just isnt using them, to make them appear open, like the bukkit server does. Thanks
