Does that webpage still say "closed" when you have the server running?
Update: After a couple days of pounding my head against this port forwarding stuff, if finally occurred to me to consider what role my DSL modem was playing in this exercise in frustration LOL. For whatever reason, I had gotten myself hung up on trying to port forward my wireless router & totally ignored the modem. Long story short, I was able to find a walk-thru on my ISPs site that walked me through what I needed to do. We had our first gaming session this evening!
Mac OSX 10.8.2
Belkin router F9K1103 v1
Both firewalls off.
When I test the port @ www.yougetsignal.com, I show that the port is closed (with server running)
I can connect to localhost or with my MacBook using internal ip without problems. No one outside of the local network can connect to my server. I've tried using Port Map, no-ip.com, watched numerous YouTube videos and read countless FAQs, etc.
Please help! I just want to play MineCraft with my kids & nephews lol.
