    When I try to put 25565 into the port start and end I get a error that says I'm not allowed to set the start and end port as the same number. Any help? (I'm using SMC)

    Sorry if this was all ready asked.

    Picture of the error


    SkyEmerald, look above where you enter the Port Range. There is a pulldown called "Public IP Ports". See if you change that option from Port Range to maybe "Specific Port" or something similar. If that is the only option for that pulldown, try unchecking "Enable Port Range" at the bottom of the form. Some routers give an option of a "range" or a "specific" port, I'm guessing yours is like that.

    Greetings. I'm attempting to setup a server for two users (myself and one other). I first was boggled by the "no data" on the server ui but discovered its a known bug. Checking the logs, my server successfully starts up.

    I've checked my Java is up-to-date. I've also added the "PATH" and "CLASSPATH" to my Environment Variables on Computer. This removes the "no internal or external" error. I can now see my Java version.

    I've path forwarded on both my personal firewall and my Buffalo Wireless Router. I can confirm that the port 25565 is open via canyouseeme. I have also checked the ports are open via the PFPortChecker program. Both TCP and UDP are open, however there is no return ping?? Maybe this is the issue, no idea.

    I am unable to connect to my own server using the Minecraft program (I run that in tandem with the MinecraftServer.exe. I use the external IP found using "what is my IP" and enter that address for "server address."

    Here is my log data for my server:

    I don't understand the top java lingo but seems the server runs fine. I could truly use some help with this if anyone is still awake (I'm on Japan time). Note, a few months back when I played I was able to connect to other friend's servers, so I know that my being in Japan isn't the cause. I believe I've posted all relevant information and have done basically everything I can locate online to try and troubleshoot this before pestering you folks on the forums.

    Thanks for the help and greatly appreciated!


    EDIT: I found the solution. The error was in fact hidden in that crap about Java. Apparently from my research the new Minecraft Server doesn't even work... you need to download to server 1.6.4 - there is a link somewhere to locate a safe file on mediafire. Once you get 1.6.4, then you need to do a previous version of the Minecraft under "User Profile" at login. At that point - assuming everything is opened port-wise, the server will work. Really frustrating, there should be a stickied notice that 1.7.5 doesn't even work.
