    Then it should be forwarded now.

    I started my server by running Bukkit and I tried logging in using my IP followed by :25565 and without :25565 and it wouldn't let me connect. Should I edit something or am I suppose to use another IP?

    Is there option to choose IP or computer to redirect in AT&T U-verse?

    I got it! I used the Public IP that it gave the MinecraftTCP and MinecraftUDP (they both use the same IP) and it logged me in. I put that IP in the server.properties file just in case as well. Overall... I got the server working. Thank you so much for your assistance Mapatti! :)

    Last question! If I wish to switch computers to host my server should I just save all my files on a USB and port-forward again on the other computer?

    Yes. If other computer is in same LAN you need just change internal IP.

    Hmm.. I believe we are in the same LAN. We are all wired to the same router I mentioned earlier. How can we change the internal IP?

    Or did it work with public IP on your server? Then you don't need to do anything.

Anyone have any solutions? I just moved, it was working before i moved. i have changed router models from Netgear WNDR3400 TO WNDR3700 i have a different ip adress, i have reset my router to factory settings awhile ago and redid it all SOLUTIONS PLEASE

    What isn't working? Can you connect to the server? If yes, then what IP address do you use? Also, can your friends connect to your server? What IP address are they using?

    Well that's your problem. Don't put any IP address in the server.properties field and see what happens. Also, does the IP address that you are trying to connect with start with a 192., a 10., or a 5.?

    You are trying to connect to your internal IP address...which doesnt really work. If you are using hamachi, try connecting wiht your 5.blah.balh.blah address. If you don't want to use Hamachi, try using your public IP address (shouldnt start with a 192, 10, or5 )

    If it wont let you connect to your external IP address, then I dont think that you set up port forwarding correctly.

    @needle44 Somewhere in the port forwarding area, you need to specify your interal IP address. I know that it says "Public IP address", but if that is the only place to put an IP adress in, then try putting your internal one there.

    Hi, I am also trying to port forward and this looks like a good place to start. I have the generic verizon router (dont know the model). I have already port forwarded, but when i run CraftBukkit, it says
    "[ip]:25565 cannot bind to port
    Is There already a server running on that port?"

    I dont have another server or port on that port.
    Can you help?

    I've portforwarded on Netgear DG834G (v3) and still, nobody can get online. Here's how I port-forward:
    - I go to Services, Add Custom Service, put the name and everything then the Minecraft default port 25565.

    - I then go to Firewall Rules, Add, ALLOW Always, enter my IPv4 address for 'Send To LAN Server', WAN users ANY, Log Never, apply.

    - Now to LAN IP Setup. Put my IPv4 address in, a device name (same as service&firewall rules) and hit apply.

    - So, I watch a video that tells me I have to put the IP from websites like whatismyip,IPChicken,whatismyipaddress ect with the :25565 after the IP. So I give that to my friends, doesn't work. Even I can't connect to my server via that IP. I can connect to it with myipv4address:25565 , weirdly my Hamachi IP , and 'localhost'.

    And of course, nobody can connect to my server via any of those IPs. I can't go down the Hamachi route because that doesn't work for me plus I want a server that anybody can go on and don't need Hamachi.

    I've also opened ports via Windows Firewall (in Control Panel). Tried Outbound Services, not working. Tried Inbound Services, not working. When I say "not working" I mean the port still hasn't forwarded correctly. (I check this by going to Canyouseeme.org. I've checked the port there with my server on, off, firewall on, off, I've tried everything.

    Nobody can seem to connect either way. I'm completely stuck. Any ideas? Ideas will be much appreciated.
    Oh, and, I've followed the instructions at the other Portforward post, doesn't work. Followed the instructions for portforwading a Minecraft server for my specified Router at Portforward.com, still doesn't work.

    I'm stuck!

    Thanks

    Will.
