Port Forwarding .. BT.. MineCraft

[William12h]

Sooo I don't think i can do anything unless i get a new Router..
 
I have BT Home Hub 3 (Possible version A Which apparently has issues with Port Forwarding..)
 
So I am trying to host a MC server, port 25565.
It says the port is closed.
 
Ive done Portforwarding for TCP, UDP and Any and assigned it to my PC which has a static IP.
I have also allowed the connection through my firewall, And have also tried putting my PC in DMZ mode.
 
MC Server CMD log shows

Is this going to be a private server? If so, you can try using hamachi

[X1XNobleX1X]

 

Nv/M 

[Extingquish]

So just to confirm, your port forwarding settings look like this?

 

[TheGamingBarrel]

Try 25566 Instead of 25565, sometimes it doesnt work on BT hardware

[TheGamingBarrel]

As I can see your IP there, you're doing it wrong, it must be the local IP for the server (for example 192.168.1.12)

AFAIK, in the config file you leave the IP empty and just have the port.

OP, you've done the portforwarding right. That's not the issue.

 

Minecraft servers say can't bind to port when there's something else occupying that port on the same computer. You probably have a stray java or javaw.exe (from opening a server without the command prompt) that you could either kill in Task Manager or by restarting.

[William12h]

My Port Forwarding is Correct. And guys it is for me and my friends So i have to use my Public IP. I can use No IP or Localhost/my Internal IP and connect to the server.

The issue is when trying to use my Public IP to connet.

Yeah, but it tries to connect your external IP then it's doing it wrong... I think it isn't too much effort to write it.

I mean for this...:

[09:55:23] [server thread/INFO]: Starting Minecraft server on 81.159.190.190:25565

You server won't start at that IP

You're correct.

 

@William12h leave the IP field alone. Your computer does not have your external IP address so it won't work.

The HomeHub allows external connections to port 25565 on the local IP address that you've set.

Ive already check for Java running in task manager etc.

 

My Run bat script is :

@Echo OFF

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.exe

PAUSE

 

and why does it say , in the CMD logs

[William12h]

@DEcobra11 I can connect to the server if i sue my Private IP. but in the Tutorials they say to use my Public IP in the Server file so friends can connect via it etc 

[William12h]

LOL u connected to my server @DEcobra11

[William12h]

So i guess if i use my Internal Private IP in the server text file, then you can connect via my Public IP?

 

@DEcobra11

[William12h]

I connected to your server... look at the console

Yea I just the IP to my Internal IP and u connected  

[Extingquish]

So i guess if i use my Internal Private IP in the server text file, then you can connect via my Public IP?

 

@DEcobra11

It would be better to just leave it alone
