Can't open port

[docfail]

So,I'm trying to host a minecraft server on my desktop, seems pretty straight forward. Except everything is alright until I need to open the TCP 25565 port, I created a rule on my router, and one on the windows firewall. Didn't work so I tried running Nmap on a laptop , Nmap is reporting the port as opened an every online port scanner like this one, report it as filtered. So the problem is my router or I'm missing someting ? 

thanks

Try temporarily disabling the windows firewall all together.

 

Are you trying to connect using your networks public IP? Have you asked a friend or someone not at your house to try connecting?

Your desktop has a static IP address? 

 

Basically that's what you need to do: 

 

1. On your router make a new port forwarding rule for incoming TCP port 25565 to your desktop static IP address example: 192.168.1.10

2. In your host firewall, you need to allow incoming TCP port 25565 (you can try to disable the firewall first to see if your port forward works)

 

It will be easier if you use a DDNS service, because your public IP address will change. 

 

I never setup a Minecraft server, but that's how it works for any kind of servers.

Some ISPs don't allow port forwarding unless you pay extra fee, think twice if running own server is worth it...
