I believe you are trying to port forward? If so, then the WAN and LAN are the IP's. LAN stands for local area network or in other words, its the address that the router gave your computer so it knows where to send information when you are using the internet. WAN is the public IP assigned to your router by your service provider.
Go into your router and click on the port forwarding tab (possibly under advanced). Enable this then follow the below steps:
When port forwarding, you use the port 25565 which is default for minecraft for the internal and external ports. Your router will want an ip so it knows where to send the traffic going through the port 25565. You can find this (on Windows) by opening cmd or command prompt on your computer and typing ipconfig. This will bring up a bunch of stuff, if you are using ethernet (a wired connection) look for an address under the ethernet adapter section (I will upload a photo to show this). If you are using wifi, look for your wireless LAN adapter. Look under these sections for your ipv4. This is the address which you will put in your router port forwarding section. The starting and ending port it asks for is 25565 for both.
After that you need to put that ipv4 from the cmd into your server properties file with port 25565 in their respective places.
If done correctly, you should be able to google "what is my ip" take that and send it to your friends and they should be able to use that to connect.
If you are looking for a host you can check out MCPro Hosting. they have good servers that can be vanilla or moded and they have a great support staff and servers all around so you can get one close to you so you have less lag.
If your looking for a server someone has running that you want to play on, good luck. Many servers out there are moded.
One thing i would check is that there is not a large number of blocks infront of the piston. they can only push a certin ammount. Also if you are an op then world guard does not apply to you. If you are not an op look for the flags like "use", "construct", or "build". Those would be mi first guess.
hi, i'm having a similar problem where my server log won't open, but it says "failed to bind to port" and then quits before i can type anything. i've tried the run.bat file, but it doesn't make a difference, and my eula.txt is set to true. i've had this server for a couple months, and it's worked before, but for some reason it's stopped working this last week or two. what can i do to get it to open?
Your problem is that your ip changed. What you need to do is open a command prompt (this is for windows) and type in ipconfig. If you are using wifi, your ip will be the one under the ipv4 addres under the wireless LAN section. If you are using a wired connection it will be under the ethernet adapter section.
Because you are using your computer you have a ip that changes depending on what ip your router gives you. Generally it wont change every day but it will neventuallly. when you get the Failed To Bide To Port your ip changed.
THIS IS NOT A PLUGIN PROBLEM OR AN INCORECT STOPPING PROBLEM!!!!!!!

Sorry i took so long,
If you could attach a screen shot of your routers port forwarding screen that would be great!

You have pretty good specs for your computer but the only thing to help would be your internet. Sorry.

When you start your server are you opening your run.bat?

I refer you to this page.

Yes that works if your port fowarding. If you are running a LAN server then do the command prompt thing.
