I had my server all set up and running properly last night on my old router and played on it with a friend for a few hours. I hooked up my new router this morning and it says my port isn't open. Now, i know i put in the correct new IPv4 in the port forwarding section on my router and switched everything over and even reinstalled all the server mumbo-jumbo and it still says my port isn't open? I'm spacing on what else might be the problem. Greatly appreciate the help ^^
I am not certain, but the problem could be that the new router connects your internet through a different IP than the old one, meaning the server isn't operating on the new IP. If that is not the case, check the side of your new router for a paper or engraving showing the port it is running off of.
It's the same default gateway to connect to my router, I even restarted my computer and rechecked my IP config to make sure and nothing has changed that shouldn't have. the only thing that changed was my IPv4 and i changed everything on the server and in my router port so it matches up :/
I tried and it didnt work and i searches youtube and came up with nothing :/ that's why i posted hoping to get someone who knew hehe... hopefully someone else will find my thread and help, thanks for trying tho ^^

Is your new router running on an IPv6 instead of 4?
Hi There.
maybe? it says it supports IPv6, but it shows in my CMD the IPv4. how would I find the IPv6 and do i have to use that instead??
This website will show you whether you are running on an IPv4 or IPv6, AND tell you what it is! http://whatismyv6.com
Hi There.
I guess i have an IPv6 and thats what i should be using but idk how to do anything with it
I don't have much experience working with IPv6, but you can try putting that address as the server IP?
This is about as far as I can help you, you can probably find a tutorial on youtube if that doesn't work.

Your welcome, sorry I couldn't fix it, maybe you could try finding something on this?https://www.reddit.com/r/admincraft/comments/3ztzxg/need_help_setting_up_a_server_with_ipv6_address/
Hope the server gets back up soon!
Hi There.
I don't believe 1.7.10 is usable with an IPv6 for a server... from what i read nothing under 1.8 does, idk ill keep trying to figure this out..
