Hello forum, I recently bought the alpha version, and I totally luv it :smile.gif:
I'm trying to set up my server with the server software you can download at the Download section in the main page.
I followed to the letter the instructions in the thread in the multiplayer support section of the forums on how to set up a server(viewtopic.php?f=1013&t=25110),but I'm encountering problems that I dont know how to solve(which I'll mention them l8r on). I want you guys to know I have googled my heart out, in search of support to help me fix the problem, but have failed miserably.. :sad.gif:
I decided wat better than to speak with the forums in search for hope.
I created my server with the instruction from the thread already mentioned before, but it seems that everyone who tries to connect with my external IP wont connect(timed out or just plain failure to connect). My server is using(well trying to use) the port 25565, the default port. I went to http://portfoward.com and search for the guide for my router(Thompson T782) and foward the port 25565. Tried again, failed. Then I found that in http://canyouseeme.org will show if the port is open or not, to my surprise it shows closed. I went online once again in search 4 info, and created an exception in my firewall(Norton Internet Security 2010) for the same port 25565. Still will show closed.
I joined the Unofficial Minecraft Steam group, and met a guy who told me that he couldn't connect with the IP address i gave him(wat a surprise). But he recommended me to use Hamachi, a porgram that allows players to join a network under a new IP address, and what you know, he connected to my server and we even built a tower already. But to the point. I can connect to my server using my internal IP or "localhost", people can connect to it via hamachi, but I really want to fix the port problem, and hopefully create the server like it's meant to be, because, lets face it, not every1 has Hamachi installed.
I have detailed everything I have done, thinked, and tried in order to fix my problem, and start my server up.
I hope there is some1 out there that;s willing to help me out and fix this problem. Thanks in advance 4 all the help.
