So for the past couple of days I've been attempting to set up a server that an internet friend and I can play on, and so far I've successfully accomplished every step except for port forwarding. I've followed all the steps on portforward.com to a T to the point where I even downloaded the trial version of their dumb app, with no success!! I cannot get my ports to open on 25565! Here's some basic info,
-I'm using an Arris router
-I've tried both dynamic and static ips
-I've tried TCP individually, UCP individually, and both simultaneously
-I've tried 19132-25565 as well as 25565-25565
-It won't let me leave my private ip address as a string of zeros
-I've checked ports on yougetsignal.com , as well as the portforward.com app and they both say my ports are closed on TCP. I've managed to get them open on UCP but that's it.
-I've tried disabling my firewall through the portforward.com website where it has you enter your ip address into the browser. No luck.
I've been scouring forums with no luck so far. If it helps to know, I'm using McAfee, but it's never caused me issues before? Please help!!
