Posted May 18, 2014 I am in between two houses pretty frequently and my friends and I have a Minecraft server we enjoy playing on, here at the second house, I can't get the server to port forward and run through the external I.P, I can use local host and I've tried everything I know. Though I still can't get it (I run it through port 25566 usually instead of 25565 but I tried a bunch of ports).

Posted May 19, 2014 This is how I port forwarded it. @Sharif starting with change 25566 to 25565 change service type to TCP also make sure your internal IP is correct by checking it through CMD by using the command ipconfig and also can you explain in detail to what problem your facing? starting with the server Current system - ThinkPad Yoga 460 ExSystems Spoiler Laptop - ASUS FX503VD || Case: NZXT H440 || MB: Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI || CPU: Skylake Chip || Graphics card : GTX 970 Strix || RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16GB || Storage:1TB WD+500GB WD + 120Gb HyperX savage|| Monitor: Dell U2412M+LG 24MP55HQ+Philips TV || PSU CX600M || Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/154093-need-help-port-forwarding/#findComment-2061753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 19, 2014 Author Well the Server itself works fine, but the port won't open and connect externally I can only connect through local host.

Posted May 19, 2014 Well the Server itself works fine, but the port won't open and connect externally I can only connect through local host. You may have already verified this but is your local firewall blocking external connections by any chance? Can you have another PC on your LAN do a telnet to port 25566?

If you can explain how to telnet I can have someone do it for me yes.

Posted May 20, 2014 Since telnet is no longer installed by default on windows vista/7/8 the easiest thing is to download putty at http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe Run putty.exe, select the telnet button, put in the address of your Minecraft server in the Host name (or IP address) field and then change the port from 23 to 25566. Then press the Open button. If all is good you'll see a black window with a blinking cursor. If there is like a firewall issue you'll get an error after a few seconds. Make sure this is done from a PC within your network and not from the internet.

Posted May 20, 2014 Author I figured the telnet out .. got no errors. But still no external I.P address access. Could it be the ISP? I've done this a million times and I can't get it. After trying everything I know. Also disabled all firewalls just in case and no help.

Posted May 20, 2014 Author Have you checked that the port has been entered correctly in the server.properties file? Yes, as I tried to explain before (I realize I did a bad job) I already have it set up on the same pc at home, and I'm trying to portforward the same port at another house for when I am there. It works here at home but I can't get it to let anyone connect through the external ip at the other house.

Posted May 21, 2014 I'm not familiar with the router interface you showed in your screenshot but is there an option to just do single port forwarding? The screenshot you have does a range and allows you to translate that range to something else. I've had some routers (DIR-655 from DLINK was the last one I believe) that didn't like to do single port forwarding in this way.

Posted May 22, 2014 Author I think that means 1 thru 65535 Well then I'm completely stumped, I've done this a million times, on close to the same router and it has never given me such an issue.

Posted May 22, 2014 That's the Netgear interface for port forwarding I am pretty sure. If you meant to forward external port 25566 to port 25566 for the machine with IP 192.168.1.10 then you did it correctly. It must be a firewall issue or your ISP blocking certain ports.

I tried everything I know, disabled firewalls, did different ports, static i,p, google's DNS servers. Nothing. Might call the ISP, since they are garbage anyway.

Posted May 22, 2014 Go in cmd and type ipconfig to make sure you internal ip is what you think, this is because they can sometimes change. If that doesn't work then it could be that your ip blocks non standed ports to prevent hosting spam servers etc. Also check windows firewall or any other firewall software are rubbish like that could be in the way Gaming Rig:CPU: Xeon E3-1230 v2¦RAM: 16GB DDR3 Balistix 1600Mhz¦MB: MSI Z77A-G43¦HDD: 480GB SSD, 3.5TB HDDs¦GPU: AMD Radeon VII¦PSU: FSP 700W¦Case: Carbide 300R Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/154093-need-help-port-forwarding/#findComment-2074801 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 22, 2014 Author The router tells me the local I.P every time I go into the settings, so I don't have to go into CMD, I've turned off all firewalls, used all open ports i can think of, changed the protocol, telnet worked, so it's definitely ISP side because I know I haven't done anything wrong, plus their service is horrible already so it wouldn't be surprising. Thank you EVERYONE for the suggestions and help I appreciate it.
