My minecraft servers have been running fine until I got my new computer. My servers will only run on my internal IP, and localhost. You cannot connect through the external IP even with Minechat on cellular, and my friends can't join the either. I currently have a desktop, and it is connected to Ethernet, and WiFi. I have been trying many solutions, and none seem to work for me. I realized that on my old computer it will run the servers fine when I portfoward the computer. Any solutions?
I'm using Verizon FIOS where would I find that? This is the firewall options: https://i.gyazo.com/518820f497e10a806005046597bb422d.png
@AAndrew Check if you are using the correct external IP and test if your port is open while running your server using the following site: canyouseeme.org . [Edit] If you have not port forwarded your new computer, the port will not open. You need to access your router and port forward for your new computer.
Let me try that. @Zombie_Striker It says: I could not see your service on port (25535) I port forwarded it to 25535. But it does see my old computer on 25565. I've tried my new computer with 25565 also. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
@AAndrew So have you port forwarded 25565 for the new computer, and still with the server up it says that the port is not open?
@AAndrew Have you edited the server.properties file on your new computer so that the server uses port 25535?
It's not the server that doesn't work. It's the port forwarding, it is broken. The port forwarding won't connect to my computer for some reason. server.properties: Code: #Minecraft server properties #Sun Feb 21 16:35:41 EST 2016 generator-settings= op-permission-level=4 resource-pack-hash= allow-nether=true level-name=world enable-query=false allow-flight=false announce-player-achievements=true server-port=25535 max-world-size=29999984 level-type=DEFAULT enable-rcon=false force-gamemode=false level-seed= server-ip= network-compression-threshold=256 max-build-height=256 spawn-npcs=true white-list=false spawn-animals=true hardcore=false snooper-enabled=true online-mode=true resource-pack= pvp=true difficulty=1 enable-command-block=false gamemode=0 player-idle-timeout=0 max-players=20 max-tick-time=60000 spawn-monsters=true generate-structures=true view-distance=10 motd=A Minecraft Server
@AAndrew There's not much else we can tell you to do. Unless its the firewall (which in that case I found this link), if your port will not open even when you open it for your computer then there is nothing we can do. [Edit] How do you know the port forwarding is broken? What did you do to test it?
I used canyouseeme.org like you said. 25565 said it was port forwarded. (It's port forwarded on my laptop which works) 25535 said it wasn't port forwarded and it was.
@Zombie_Striker Yes, I made sure the IP was port forwarded correctly. When I tested my desktop's server it didn't work on 25535. The desktop also didn't work on 25565. When I tested my laptop's server it worked on 25565. The laptop also worked on 25535.
