Most all third party firewalls (Including McAfee) automatically disable the windows firewall.
OK, I didn't know that. Zirion, you could still try what I said for maybe the Windows firewall is re-enabled when you disable McAfee. I am dubious though. Try allowing minecraft and the minecraft server. Did you do TCP AND UDP? I honestly don't know what could be your problem. ISP maybe? Maybe your computer just doesn't like you. How did you offend it?

UDP is not necessary. As proof, my router only lets you forward one at a time, and I have not forwarded UDP. Server works just fine.
It is looking more and more like his ISP is blocking the traffic all together.

You think so. My routerallows me to do both. Anyways zirion has tried a bunch except that. Zirion try adding UDP. Then if that doesn't work, consider calling your ISP. Echonite, I have seen more saying TCP AND UDP than just TCP

Because some routers have options for allowing both, but its not necessary. The server program only needs TCP. If it needed UDP, then mine would not work at all. The need for both was born out of ignorance, put simply. These forums are filled with over-night know-it-alls, who really don't know much aside from what they read someone else do.

Oh really! Well he's tried alot. It still couldn't hurt to try. But if this so, then it probably won't do any good. Who is your ISP, Zrion? (If you'd prefer not to, don't tell me your ISP. Just call them)

Ok, so if you look at this post. it shows in a screenshot that I have Port Forwarded both TCP and UDP(I think). I'd rather not tell my ISP out in public like this, but I will PM you Anonymous_1234 with the title of my ISP. What questions should I ask my ISP?
I've been trying to set up a server for a while myself. I finally got it working and I think the one thing nobody ever mentioned in nearly every youtube video, article, guide, walkthrough, anything is that when you set up port forwarding, you forward all your players to a specific internal IP address. However, most computers wont have a static internal IP address so the IP that your server is on will change. So you have to set up a "static IP" for the computer your server is on. just a tip, you can look up a guide, it's quite easy.

Whats the problem exactly? Is it that players can't connect? If the problem is that then make sure McAfee firewalls are allowing traffic to come through the port 25565 then in your router's configuration, open up the port 25565 or whatever port you assigned in server.properties. You can find a guide on how to port forward on http://www.portforward.com/
Hes done all that. I even confirmed that it was done properly. At this point the last remaining things to try is for him to call up his ISP about it. Some ISPs block port traffic to save themselves on bandwidth usage.
If I were to contact my ISP what would I ask them to do? It's been mentioned that they don't like people to set up servers, so would they even help to create one? Or would they take further actions to prevent it?

If your ISP doesn't like people setting up servers that is probably why you're having troubles. Anyway, I'm calling the ISP tommorow. So basically just ask them if they block port traffic? Should I ask them if they block port traffic to 25565 and 2424? Any other questions I should ask?
Basically just ask them if they block specific incoming traffic. You don't want to lead them on that you are running a server of some sort. Most ISPs don't like that and may flat out not service you "Until its been turned off". Basically you are just probing for information.
If they need to know why, you can say something like you are trying to set up remote assistance so you can get help with... i duno, McAfee customer support and they can't connect.

I'm going on vacation to california tomorrow, so I will be away from my home computer, but hoping that I will have wifi most of the time.:--+: Question: is there such a thing as a dynamic public IP? Or are all public IPs static

Let me know if you get it resolved.
A dynamic public is a public ip that changes from time to time. It is the default. A static public ip is one that doesn't. To get a static ip you would have to call your ISP. Alternatively, you could get an ip thru no-ip.com or a Minecraft server host such as www.nfoservers.com.

I currently have plans to ask my ISP to provide me with a static public IP and see if that helps. Does anybody else have any suggestions?
A static IP is unnecessary, and usually costs more. ISPs have a limited number of IPs they have reserved for them, so when somone wants a static IP, it takes away from their pool, so they charge more.
That said, so long as your router isn't disconnected, your IP will never change. They assign addresses via DHCP, just like home routers do for local computers, which leases the IP to your router for a period of time. Half way through that time, your router will basicly ask if it can keep the IP. 99.9% of the time it will be a yes, and the release is renewed.
The only time you would get a no is if say someone has a particular static IP, but they go offline for a long period of time, and somone else plugs in their computer/router and the ISP assigned it that IP. When the other device comes back online and asks for its static IP, it will tell the other device next time the lease renew comes up that no, it cant keep the IP and will assign it a new one.
tl;dr don't bother with a static IP.

Windows Firewall is off, I just checked. It says: "These settings are being managed by vendor application Mcafee Personal Firewall"

I asked my ISP as well, they said do not block anything either.
