Ok so I have followed many guides exactly on how to make a minecraft server. I have all the files and the server works for me. I can connect to the server however they can not. I have port forwarded and I'm pretty sure I've done it correctly. Whenever they try to access the server they get the error "java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:". I am giving them my ip (found from typing in "ip" in google). They have even tried adding :25565 to the end of the ip and they still can not join. I use mcafee and have added the ports on allowed ports but it will still not work. The log is below in the spoiler.
Thanks for any help

In your server folder, find the "server.properties", open it and hover over to the server ip, copy your ip and paste it in there. You don't need to add ":25565" in the server.properties.
Make sure your computer firewall is off, otherwise other player cannot join your server.
Click add server in minecraft, type the ip address and add your port, ex:"12.34.5678:25565"
Ok so I have followed many guides exactly on how to make a minecraft server. I have all the files and the server works for me. I can connect to the server however they can not. I have port forwarded and I'm pretty sure I've done it correctly. Whenever they try to access the server they get the error "java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:".

Make sure your computer firewall is off, otherwise other player cannot join your server.
Click add server in minecraft, type the ip address and add your port, ex:"12.34.5678:25565"
Typing "IP" into google gives you your IPv6 Address. Most things (including Minecraft) use IPv4.
I'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.
