Unable to portforward

Go to solution Solved by BobbyBeep,

Ah I finally got it to work. It turns out I had to use the WAN IP listed in my router page instead of googling 'ip' to connect. Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

Well you didn't exactly list your IP in the tool.

I tried this as well couple years ago but my modem doesn't allow it so I found a work around using utorrent (ah omg piracy no it can be used for other things)

download and install utorrent and in preferences>connection change the port on top right to 7777 and it should be open for your friends to connect make sure you start the game before opening utorrent or it will fail to bind to port because its being use. once the room is made/your in the game open utorrent and bam forwarded

 

just a work around method if u cant get modem/router forwarding to work

Tried your method but it still doesn't let them connect... Thanks for your effort though :D.
