I am extremely excited for the 1.10.2 version, I think a while back I played either this, or some zeppelin mod and it was incredibly fun moving my whole base with me. Great work, this looks awesome.
If running the computer in DMZ mode allows your cousin to connect then the issue is with the port forwarding.. DMZ basically places the computer "outside" of the protected home network, allowing incoming connections easier.
Make sure your router doesn't have a firewall built into it.. that's another thing DMZ bypasses... and no it's not 'unsafe' to run as DMZ, unless you're spamming your IP to people no one will know.. and set up the whitelist feature as well if you're worried.
ok thanks for these tips, i'm going to get some sleep and try them out tomorrow and report back here with the results
and just to clarify to anyone that wants to suggest me reading the already stickied guides i have read them and concluded this is a common problem that a lot of people seem to just give up on instead of actually trying to find the solution
my computer has not changed at all since the last time i was running a minecraft server on it the only difference is my router
but ive gone over the ports a bunch of times
the only solution i could find was running my router in DMZ mode but i do not think that is safe
Ummm... why do you need to connect to your server from the outside?
Or do you mean other people cannot connect to your server from the outside?
Explain in detail where the server is, where you are, and where your other person (cousin?) is.
(I.e. what households, on what computers)
EDIT: (Specifically why do you need to connect with your external ip rather than use local? Or is it your cousin can't connect from his house?)
my cousin is 100 miles away, i have the server hosted on my PC using 127.0.0.1:25565 to log in
i gave him my IP that i got from whatsmyIP.com to log into the server but everytime he tries it just times out
we want to play survival mode together, just 2 player multiplayer
i have set up a server before and it worked fine, with multiple people joining but im running into problems this time and i cant seem to trouble shoot it myself or by browsing the forums (also the search function on this site being disabled doesnt help)
i forwarded 25565 properly and can only not connect to it when i use the IP that should be used from computer outside of my network
i have searched for a bout an hour now trying to find a solution but all i can find is locked threads with no actual answers
id love to get this figured out as soon as possible cause i promised my little cousin id build a castle with him this weekend and thats the only way i know how to get more than one person in the game
I currently am bored with minecraft i hosted a server for a bit but it didnt turn out very well because i cant afford a good connection, anyways the lets play idea sounds fun
would it be starting from scratch on a server?
I've seen some bad Necros in my time, but this one is near the top. You new people just dig through the corpses and bring back anything without looking at the date.
are you saying that instead of looking for a topic that suited what i wanted to do, i should have instead asked other people to look for me ?
jeez....
anyways this is still just as relevant as the day it was posted

Hey im 19 years old and currently attending film school in Vancouver b.c. canada. I have a great computer as well as all essential video editing/recording software. I am very well knowledgable when it comes to these things.
I have wanted to do something like this from when I first saw minecraft so I hope we can work together because it seems like a lot of fun and I need something to devote my spare time too.
