    turning off firewall does nothing

    He means that if he were at his friend's house and his friend and him wanted to play on the server (away from home) would they be able to connect

    Check in the pink HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SORTA SENSE WHATSOEVER?

    I have been having a problem attempting to set up my voltz server and this seems like the most recent thread thats posting good information and helping people. I have port fowarded a minecraft server before and it worked out just fine but i recently got a new router. I have been able to get in game using local host and play by myself but whenever my friends try to join they are unable to "reach the server". They say it says the connection timed out. I used the ipfingerprints website and it sates this:

    Host is up.

    PORT STATE SERVICE

    25565/tcp filtered minecraft


    Click here to find out port STATE meanings.


    This has lead me to believe that it is a firewall problem however i have made exceptions, and even turned off my firewall and the ipfingerprint still says the same thing. I have been looking all over and can never find a complete/answered thread of my situation. Please if you could help me asap I would be very grateful!

    Try portforwarding to port 25564 or 25566 this usually works. Then remeber to change the port in your server properties and every time you login server.ip:25564 or :25566

    I tried this using both 25564 and 25566 and port forwarded successfully and was able to connect myself using that specific ip, however my friends are still getting the unable to connect connection timed out: connect statement. we triple checked the ip and it was correct and even tried turning the firewall off again but still no luck :/

    **note** i wasnt able to connect before using the exact ip like i am now.

    Just to clarify they are joining with your ip from http://whatsmyip.org and they are using ":25564 or :25566" after that ip right?

    it says this on canyouseeme.org
    Error: I could not see your service on 76.214.197.242 on port (25566)
    Reason: Connection timed out

    and in voltz it says cant reach server reason: connect
