ummm so to make this very short, I started a server like 5 weeks ago, and it's modded, and then when minecraft updated i went to get the new updated version (and no this isn't about a modding problem or anything) and I did successfully, but when I started it up, it failed to bind to port. the problem was, no other server was running, and I didn't know what do to. I looked on google, but no answers. one was to restart your computer, which I did, and it still wouldn't work. I don't understand how now it would be giving me problems, since it has been up for 5 weeks. ( and no it hasn't been up for 5 weeks straight.) any answers?
woah thats weird. i check where i portforward and theres no server anymore thats probably why. if you can, can you answer why that happened?ok wait, when i make a new one, now it says its conflicting with another one. any ideas.....wth is going on here.....
just did nothing happened and i opened task manager to see if any java stuff was running and nothing was.well im thinking that when i go to the router when i click on port forwarding no service is there and when i try to create a new one with the same stuff it says im interfering with another servicethe new way that the netgear thing works ( cause it just updated) is weird so maybe im putting wrong stuff into the new places
no ones using the same port and yes my server is using 25565 for both ports and it is set to UDP/TCP. the problem is when i try to go to it, nothings there, and also, with netgear, there are so many new ports.... theres an external start port, and external end port, an internal start port, a internal end port... and thats it, but my point is, i cant find it.
its a netgear WNR2000v2 and what i mean by i can't find it, is that where all the service names are and stuff, my server is not there, and therefore can not be edited
NO NEVER IT DIDN'T WORK, IT WILL NEVER WORK, BECAUSE IF YOU READ THE POSTS, WHEN I GO INTO THE PORT FORWARDING SECTION OF MY ROUTER, THERE ARE NO SERVICES THERE ANYMORE!!ITS GONE! I CAN NOT CHANGE ANYTHING!! IT WAS WORKING 5 WEEKS AGO AND PEOPLE COULD CONNECT AND NOW ITS GONE! AND WHEN I TRY TO CREATE A NEW ONE WITH MY SERVERS INFO, IT SAYS IM INTERFERING WITH ANOTHER SERVICE!! READ THE POSTS!!1
Just a quick note: Posts in all caps are hard to read, and make us not want to help you as you appear "angry", and a rage like this is pretty rude. After all, SweetCreative wrote that to help you. He took time out of his day, to try and suggest a possible solution. Yelling at him (Even if his post wasn't too helpful) won't help anything.
Now... as for your problems. I need to you make sure that you are doing all of the steps correctly in this guide. it should lead you through the exact process you need to set up a server. http://portforward.c...raft_Server.htm
If you try that, and the service is still running behind the scenes/it won't let you create a port forward then try this:
Navigate to this page after logging into your router
Take a screen shot of all the things that show up here.
well my prob is that i know how to snip stuff, its just that i don't know how to show it on a post soooooo if you could tell me i could show you whats there as soon as i can. thxi heard you had to use something called pastebin but idk how you do it.
To add a picture to a post, you need to get the picture assigned to a URL. Sites like Imgur or pastebin make this almost a one click process. Once you have an image hosted to a URL, then copy the url, and when writing a forum post, click "add picture"
It will ask for a URL, and if you just paste the website Imgur or pastebin gave you, it will show up nicely.
Give the computer a reboot to see if that fixes anything.
The default is 25565 TCP/UDP
Is anyone else already running a Minecraft server, or using that port already?
What specific router are you using. (what specific Netgear model it is?)
What do you mean by: I cant find it.
Do you have a question with HOW to forward a port, or do you have a problem identifying WHAT to forward it to?

Post it here so I can see what's running.
