Trouble setting up a Minecraft Server

[Endless_Anarchy]

So I am in the process of setting up a Minecraft server and I got all the necessary files and things in place...or at least I think I do. But when I run the server I am unable to connect. For reference I am running an ark server from the same system which works perfectly. I have opened all the ports for it and it should be working but when I launch it I am still unable to join. My first point of interest is if you look at the command prompt, where it says: "starting Minecraft server on *:25565" is there supposed to be an IP address where the "*" is? Also I am pretty new to this stuff so if anybody needs more pictures or knows how to easily fix this I would appreciated it greatly.

Update 1: I was able to insert my IP address and have it launch to it but I still can not connect.

Update 2: I made sure to open my Firewall to the port for both TCP and UDP and also made sure the port is open on my router for the Minecraft server as seen above.

that * is your computer's local IP, I think you can check it in task manager-performance-network-ipv4 adress or something

I was able to input my IP and it is showing when I launch the server but it is still not discoverable in Minecraft. The other thing is that I am also using the microsoft loopback adapter so my computer technically has 2 IPv4 addresses but I tried both.

Update: I've managed to connect to the server form the computer that is running it so the server works but I still can not connect from actual computer

Do you have any firewalls on the pc running the server or the network?

It shouldn't be since I am running an ARK server from the same computer and have opened everything up in the same way but I'll check again

Make sure you've allowed it past windows built in firewall, Does it print anything in the cmd window when you try to join?

Is there anything else I may need to allow? I know the server launches and can be used from the computer that launches it and other computers on the same wifi

So stuff on your local network can connect? If so the error can be traced to your network
