i've looked around and i can't really find what im having trouble with..
i started a server to play on with my friends but i can't get it connected to the interwebz (im not really sure how it works :tongue.gif:). i know that my port is open because i checked using portforward.com's port checker. i tried using the ip that i got at http://www.findmyip.com/ but when i tried it, minecraft said that the connection refused. i know that it's running while i try opening it in minecraft, and i can play perfectly fine when i try localhost. i allowed the exception in mcafee, and like i said, i know that the port is open.
@chuckle: what else could mcafee be blocking? portforward clearly states that my port is up and ready to go, what else would i need to know?
@ian: bro thats the same thing, just more.."in depth", i guess.
the ip that i received from that website (whichever your preference is) is what i have to give to my friends when they want to connect to my server, right??
im sorry for being a complete idiot, but it turns out i forgot to add the :25565 to the end of the ip :tongue.gif: sorry! quick question, is there any way to change that ip? or at least a way that i dont have to tell anybody my ip and they can still connect?

did i just get my ip wrong or what?

when i turn mcafee off completely, the server still can't connect to outside users.
also, if not the above, how do i add ports to the host i want to make on dyndns?
