ok so I didn't do anything at all and after alot of trails IDK why it works now

so I've been trying to make a minecraft server on my laptop but this message keeps popping up whenever trying to join it

"io.netty.channel.abstractchannel$annotatedconnectexception connection refused"

.

here some info :

-laptop is connected to wifi

-it's on windows 10

-minecraft version 1.15.2

-tried both spigot and vanilla (two different servers)

-server wont work on my desktop computer with both wifi and ethernet (wont work on local or public)

.

heres what I did about it :

-allowing java in the firewall

-allowing the port (25565) in the firewall

-checking if ip and port was the correct one (tried to connect aswell with "localhost")

-did "netsh winsock reset" in the cmd of windows

-checked if I was opening the right port at the right ip

-checked my port at "whatsmyip.org"

- connect my laptop to ethernet

-restarted my PC

-restarted my router
