I have been getting so close to making the server i want but the thing with mine is when i port forward (i use linksys) i enter the 1 in the last slot and it says i cant use it. I see in all the videos how everyone's works but i don't know how i'm supposed to use the 1 in the slot. Anyone got a solution?
4th octet. Ex: x.x.x.1 ip 1 is most likely your router/modem your trying to... basically port forward to.. but wait... that is your router/modem ip. we dont need to forward that... what we need to forward is your host server machine...
What is your statically assigned ip address of the computer hosting your minecraft server?
If its ex; x.x.x.88 then port forward port 25565 UDP/TCP Both ways to static ip x.x.x.88
Keep in mind the x.x.x. is the first 3 octects, ill assume its a 192.168.1.X network (as it is for dlink, and standard cisco routers) with simple configs*.
Hopefully this answers your question (OH and make sure its not your anti virus OR firewall thats blocking you on your pc...) check other posts i've posted in or port forwarding... i made a few videos to give barney style explanation with vid tutorial
I have a mac and my router IP is 10.something.something.1. I followed all the steps to port-forward a server on mac and my friends can't connect. Please help.
I knew someone that had a mac and couldn't get their mc server going. They then used something called port mapper and it works now. So all I can tell you is that you need to use something called port mapper. I hope it works for you.
OK well my problem is that I had this public server running nice and fine then I get a new PC and try to port forward on it and it does not work even if i do everything the exact same way ? *Also if i go to cmd and type ipconfig it does not work?*

Well im not sure what u mean by modem but when i open control prompt it doesnt say modem but when i enter the defualt gateway it says i cant use my routers ip network or broad casts system and i have no security on my computer

alrighty when i say router/modem i mean your master routing/modem unit (the device that your computer connects to the internet, usually a dsl, cable, or ONT unit) something your ISP gave you so you can use their network. Now as for configuring it, im assuming your login is at 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1)
Type that in your browser, and then you'll be brought to your master router/modem unit login screen via webpage. Login (admin username is usually admin, pregenerated password is usually located somewhere on the router/modem under it or on a sticker that says the username & password)
Alrighty we'll assume your now logged into your router/modem unit. Look around through all the options, preferably one that hints or suggests "Firewall" or "Port forwarding" or "DMZ" something of that nature.
Click it, and open it. Okay now that your their you should see something somewhere in a sub menu, tab, or drop down box, that gives you a option for port forwarding, click it (port forwarding option).
Okay now your in port forwarding, some sorta UI (User interface) should show up, like a ip list, where you can see either UDP, TCP, or both as a option (drop down box or preselected), alongside some form of box that lets you type in (or select) currently assigned static ips for port forwarding. Your gonna wanna do static ip routing, basically assign ON YOUR PC for the network configurations a ip of whatever matches your network. (ill assume for sake of argument its a 192.168.1.1 network) so assign it i'd say 192.168.1.3 or higher (last digit with 3 can be anything) im assuming ip x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.2 is reserved for your modem/router (if its linked) or for your actual computer that has DHCP currently enabled (the one your using).
Assign it statically to a ip thats unused.
Afterwards thats when you can use that port forwarding screen to input your pc's STATIC IP and then put in the port to forward (make sure to select both or create two routes for UDP and TCP network) Save it, and that should be it, assuming your firewall isn't blocking anything, and your ISP supports port forwarding to say a personal pc or server (ex: in this case minecraft) you should be fine.

Well i don't have security either but what i mean is the iPv6 and IPv4 firewall
I have had Minecraft since 1.8, but I've never been on a server because it always says "Failed to connect to the server" then in gray "Connection timed out: connect" I'm certain I've done the portforwarding correctly, but I still can't join on servers I KNOW work :/ please help.
This is a little late, but after scouring the forums and wading through router menus all day I finally figured out what the issue I (and possibly some of you) was having. Everything was correctly forwarded in the router settings, but the port still wasn't being shown as open. Apparently the modem I'm using (Motorola) that is connected to the router ALSO has a port forwarding and firewall option that I've never needed to use. The address for this is 192.168.100.1, and the default name and password for motorola modems is admin/motorola. After going into these settings I went into the advanced section, then port forwarding. I then looked at the routers internal ip address (192.168.9.1) in the routers status section and forwarded the port to that. Everything was working after that. So,
TLDR;
1: Log into your MODEMS administrator page. Google your modems model number to figure out how to do this.
2: Find your ROUTERS internal ip address. Usually under the "Status" section of the routers adminstrator page.
3: In the MODEMS port forwarding section (usually under advanced>port forwarding) type in the routers ip address (NOT the same one you have already forwarded in the router settings) and the port you were trying to forward for the server. Click save or what have you
Hello, I'm know I'm late but I did my ipconfig then I typed my defult gateway into a internet browser, and nothing came up... Any solutions please help me
Ok If people want to connect to your server they can't use the 192.168._.__ what you need is the external ip for others to join to find yours just go to google and type what is my ip or if your feeling fancy go to ipchicken.com also do u port forward your port as a tcp or udp? If you only do one just do the other one as well on the same port and that should fix your problem if that doesn't help PM me and ill try to help you.
I can connect to my server just fine, I even foward port it.
but no one can connect to my wan ip at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
It would be best to post your question on a new thread rather than that was 2 years old. Most people won't read all the posts before replying to the OP not knowing it was you who needed the help.
I had no problem running a server at one point, all my friends could join it, until I moved. The way you do it is allow the ports through your firewall, and port forward. If you did both of these then it should work unless like me you got a new ISP, Internet service provider. Your ISP can not block you from port forwarding but they can block ports like 25565. And unless you upgrade or change your plan from your ISP you will not be able to bind to ports that are blocked.
I had the same problem. Took me forever to find this solution. In your modem, where it says external ip, dont use the ip address you get from whatismyip(dot)com, use (0.0.0.0)
your server will automatically use your external ip. This is what was preventing my port from being seen.
You can still portfoward with the IP 192.168 etc. Stop feeding people BS. I have 4 years of server experience, and hosted many of them with a 192...... IP. Log-on to your computer, go to the start menu, and type in "CMD." In the CMD, type "ipconfig" you should see your IPV4, that's the IP your friend connects with.
4th octet. Ex: x.x.x.1 ip 1 is most likely your router/modem your trying to... basically port forward to.. but wait... that is your router/modem ip. we dont need to forward that... what we need to forward is your host server machine...

i do not have a modem
i've seen countless tutorials ad can't seem to get other people to get on the server.
maybe it's becaue i am using the wrong IP adress?
what IP adress do i use and where do i find it??
i also can't connect to my own server anymore D:
