I'm using a Powerline Adapter and so is my cousin, we are trying to connect to each other's Minecraft Server but we can and I haven't got a clue as to why, I thought it would be straightforward or maybe i'm doing something wrong, Any suggestions?

Are you on the same network? Or on diffrent networks? 

 

If on the same network are you connected to a router or trying to do a direct connection?

 

If on different networks have you tried to port forward the minecraft server?

Without knowledge of everything inbetween those connections its kinda hard to guess.

 

What I would suspect is that you haven't forwarded the relevant ports in your router.  By default no router will allow the Internet to connect to any internal servers.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)
Upgrading Laptop/Desktop CNVIo WiFi 5 cards to PCIe WiFi6e/7

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
