Hi, wondering if anyone can help me out. I believe I've done everything correctly as I have hosted in the past however i'm at a stage where i cannot host anymore. What i've done: 1. ip config 2. obtained ip (192.168.0.x) 3. chucked it into server properties 4. server runs PORTFORWARDING: 5. opened up router settings: 192.168.0.1 6. firewall changed so that it'd allow all incoming connections 6. No running firewall on PC, turned off windows defender 7. made the port(attached file) What am I missing here? Why can't i connect to the server. It can connect locally via 192.168.0.3 however i cannot connect via IP found from googling what's my ip. I've also checked my Network Connections>Ethernet properties> Internet Protocol Version 6(TCP/IPV6) and ipv4(TCP/IPV4) are both ticked. Help Note: I've called my ISP and they said nothing should be blocking it.
Yes I have in step 3, I feel as if I've exhausted every alternative and redone it so many times that I've finally come to ask for help
Okay that fixed one thing. localhost now works however portforwarding so others can play doesn't connect still. Any other ideas anyone?
Can you send a server.properties? That would be helpful. Also, I have had problems with hosting a server on port 25565(idk why), so now I use port 25575 or something else. My server now runs fine.
What i've figured out is that it's probably an issue with the network most likely. I've pasted the properties files below: Server properties files: #Minecraft server properties #Sat Apr 11 12:33:47 AEST 2020 spawn-protection=16 max-tick-time=60000 query.port=25565 generator-settings= force-gamemode=false allow-nether=true enforce-whitelist=false gamemode=survival broadcast-console-to-ops=true enable-query=false player-idle-timeout=0 difficulty=easy spawn-monsters=true broadcast-rcon-to-ops=true op-permission-level=4 pvp=true snooper-enabled=true level-type=default hardcore=false enable-command-block=false max-players=20 network-compression-threshold=256 resource-pack-sha1= max-world-size=29999984 function-permission-level=2 rcon.port=25575 server-port=25565 server-ip=192.168.0.3 spawn-npcs=true allow-flight=false level-name=world view-distance=10 resource-pack= spawn-animals=true white-list=false rcon.password= generate-structures=true online-mode=true max-build-height=256 level-seed= prevent-proxy-connections=false use-native-transport=true motd=A Minecraft Server enable-rcon=false ____________________________ What I've tried so far: -Ethernet properties allow for 'Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)' box ticked -Turned off firewall in router settings -Turned off firewall (windows defender) and do not have any other antivirus software that could potentionally be blocking it -Tried PORTFORWARDING as TCP/UDP 25565 (and other numbers) -Reinstalled JAVA and up to date -typed netstat into CMD and my port appears as TIME_WAIT which means the port isn't connected -typed netstat -aon into cmd to see PID of what is using the port only to see nothing is using the port of 25565 *****I've restarted the server and now it appears the port is LISTENING This allowed me to connect locally however issue remains, friends cannot connect to my IP. This is becoming a real tricky problem, please send help
Removed, issue still persists rcon.port=25575 server-port=25575 Unfortunately still not working, but thank you for the reply EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Have you portfoward two times? Some routers such as Netgear WNR2000v2 removed the tcp/udp compatability. Additionally have you tried connecting the internal ip (the port is assigned to) to the right computer?
