How do I get my minecraft server to work? I've port forwarded the corrects port with the correct IP address. (I've triple checked this and quadruple checked this) I have added mine application to my firewall exceptions, as well as, the 25565 port twice, once as Minecraft TCP and the other as Minecraft UDP. I've even triggered a port. Every time I check to see if the port is open it always is 'Closed'. I've done everything I can thing of. Even my friend that is pretty computer savvy and runs a mien craft server regularly couldn't figure out what the problem was via TeamViewer. I know the IP, port, and firewall exceptions, are all right. I know this because I've followed a guide when it didn't work the first time. I actually followed two guides. I've re-installed the minecraft server file several times as well as the .jar file. I've even set the minecraft_server as an exception and triggered it's port. (My friend did that over teamviewer)
