When I connect via my private address, it is just fine, but I can not connect via my public address. That goes for inside my own LAN, as well as friends from outside. When connecting through the public address, a "connection timed out: connect" error is received.
I have forwarded all the proper ports and setup my router/modem correctly. I have edited the settings in Windows Firewall appropriately. I have tried both using a plain old IP address, and using a url via no-ip.org. I have tested the server on another computer within the same LAN, and had the same issue.
I have tried googling this issue, and have read many articles and threads, including from this forum, but none have been of any help so far. If I missed something, feel free to show me.
Does anyone know about this What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I have been experiencing the same problem, I have two computers a laptop and a desktop. I have been running my server off the laptop for a couple weeks now but it lags so i want to run the server on the desktop...but when I run the same exact server on the desktop no one can connect it throws the connection timed out error you specified. This proves that there are other problems that cause the connection to time out other than the ports not being forwarded, maybe you have a bad internet connection try connecting via and Ethernet cable if your using a wireless connection....that is the only solution I can think of. Please let me no if you fix the problem and what the fix was
My router is set to forward port 25565 on BOTH protocols, and I have three seperate rules in the Windows Firewall: One for the program, and two for the port, one on each protocol.
I am using a wired connection already, but thanks for the suggestion.
I just recently got my laptop working again, so I suppose I'll try it out on it as well, but I'm afraid the result will be the same... we'll see though.
Edit: Just for the record, the two computers I have tested it on are Windows XP Pro x64, Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet (Driver version 11.7.1.1), and the other is Windows XP Pro x32, Nvidia nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (Driver version 73.3.0.0).
