Minecraft Server on Pi 3

[Drakkon_Sol]

Hi.

I have set up a minecraft server on my pi3 using nukkit. 

I can get it to run, according to the ssh via putty, but I can't seem to connect to it from my W10 laptop, on my local network.

Try as I might, through setting an ip in the server.properties and a port, as well as trying to port forward that through my router, it won't connect. I keep getting “io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information”.

 

I have looked as far as I can think, I'm not great at port forwarding, and I'm out of ideas.

I may need someone to walk me through this.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Check your port forwarding on canyouseeme.org the double makes sure you don't switch up the ips (example: gateway for local ip) 

 

It has been a long while since I've used nukkit so that's all that I can suggest. Good Luck!

first step is to ping your server ip from your computer. You shouldnt need to forward the port in your router for a LAN game. What does your network look like? Are all devices on ethernet?

I did this, and got my public address, but the thing is, do I put that in my server.properties for my pi? Honestly, I'm not sure what to do with it, after I find it.

For my LAN, I tried setting up the local ip for the pi to be port forwarded on the one that it initially had given me, via the server.properties, but that's a no go. I changed it to a default one and still nothing.

I also can ping my pi on my LAN from my W10 laptop with CMD and get 100% packets. I tried to ping my laptop in putty from my pi, and it just hangs...

The pi can access the internet, but it doesn't seem able to ping anything on my LAN.

then I would look at your laptop's firewall settings. Also try to plug your laptop into lan.

So, I tried adjusting my firewall settings, and from what I can find on the internet, I have everything set up the way it should be.... mind you, there's so much crap to wade through, it's unreal.

I made sure that the mDNS rule was added to my inbound, that mSamba was allowed in the apps, and I connected to the router via lan instead of wan. My pi is also on the lan.

 

I tried to ping my pi from my other Linux lappy, and it'll ping just fine.

I also installed minecraft on that laptop, and tried to connect to the pi, but it won't. This leads me to believe that it is the PI that is the issue, and not a connection from windows to linux screwup somewhere...

so, interesting thing; I installed the server on my W10 laptop, and I can connect to it from my linux laptop.

 

Could it have something to do with NETBIOS on my pi? If so, how do I address that?
