After spending hours of googling, it seems no one has been able to figure out how to port forward Minecraft with my type of router. I am not sure if this is the right section, so please don't flame me too much if it is. I have no clue what it is I am doing wrong. Here is the rule I have written on the router's site. I have made a static IP address for my device, which is the '192.168.1.25 If you have any ideas, please post them. Really, I am open to trying anything at this moment.
Have a look at this website, see if it could help you. https://openmyip.com/Sagemcom-Fast-5260-router-setup
Yes I did. I used that website to help me set up the static IP, but for the Port-Forwarding section it gave little to no help. Thanks though for searching.
Leave external host empty or use 0.0.0.0 . Like what I did on my router for portforwarding remote desktop connection to my PC: https://i.jessegeerts.nl/u427f.png
DId you also try to take contact with your ISP? They might have the ports blocked from their network.
I have tried calling Spectrum, but I ended up getting too frustrated with their phone bot, and I wasn't getting anywhere. However, my panel does provide a Firewall section, and I checked there, and the port isn't listed.
The way I did it is as follows: Custom Service Name: MC Server Service: Other External Host: * Protocol: TCP Internal Host: <your ip> External Port: 25565 Internal Port: 25565 Works every time The important part is `External Host: *` Has to be an asterisk, anything else I put fails
When you say "IP", are you referring to my devices IPv4 that can be shown in ipconfig? This one ^? Or the IP that shows if I google "What's my IP?"
try this External Port: 25565-25565 Internal Port: 25565-25565 The error says it all your router needs a range of ports as an argument BTW there are 2 kinds of address you should be using Internal Address - is the address of your computer ExternalAddress - is the public address that is exposed to the internet To get your external address you can look here
If you are running Windows then make sure Java has access to public/home networking. A firewall window usually pops up and lots of people click CANCEL without realizing what it does
May we see a few things because this is not making sense: 1) Open a CMD prompt and do 'ipconfig' 2) Show us your server.properties 3) How are you opening the server?
IPCONFIG I don't think you'd need to see my Server.properties, because the port doesn't even show as open on Canyouseeme
Here is my current port forward rule: **Note: I have tried to set my Internal Port as "25565-25565" but it continuously reverts back to just "25565"
Are you testing when the server is online or offline? You can't test an open port with an offline server
