Ok, so i recently got an extra computer for use as a dedicated server for Minecraft. The problem with that is, i can connect to the server with the local IP (the same IP I use to forward the ports) but i cant use the network IP that my ISP gives me.
I have done all the steps I need to do in order to run a server: download the server program, found my IP (all the different ones i need) forwarded the port onto the dedicated server computer, and tried to connect to it.
If you can help me resolve my problem, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Don't click me.
I said don't click me!
Why are still clicking me?!
Okay, now I'm just annoyed...
You could be doing something productive right now...
Like finding the cure for cancer or something...
But no, you just have to keep clicking this damn spoiler tag.
Really, stop it.
I mean it.
The next spoiler tag you click is gonna blow up the world.
Boom, the world is gone.
I hope you're happy now, you broke the world...
The world is gone and you're still clicking spoiler tags on a forum post signature.
This is getting you nowhere in lyfe.
I spelled "LIFE" rong.
I spelled that rong too.
Great, now you got me on a ramble.
Just go to bed, you've stayed up way too late already.
It's 13 o'clock and you're still awake at this hour clicking spoiler tags.
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the whole "You broke the world" thing either.
Now you're probably wondering if this is ever going to end.
Are you board yet?
How about now?
Obviously not, because you're still clicking spoiler tags.
This conversation has gone on way too long and I don't even know you're name.
Pleased to meet you, my name is ʞǝɹɹǝp.
Holy crap, how did he do that?!
Magic...
But not like Las Vegas magic though, that crap stinks.
I'm talkin' about some high class pixie dust magic.
That is fly.
I would show you another magic trick, but the world is broke.
Along with my magic hat.
This conversation is really doing absolutely nothing for the both of us.
Well I gotta go now, I have an appointment with the director of Purgatory.
But before I go, I have one more thing to say to you...
Congratulations on making it to the end of the spoiler chain, now go make yourself some cookies!
For you on the same network you never want to use the external IP to connect, most routers wont allow a looped connection from what I understand. Anyone inside your network (connected to the same router/in the same apt/house) should always use the LAN IP of the server and not the external IP. The external IP is only for those who are outside of your network.
Has anyone else tried to connect to the server? Are you the only one who's tried?
Is the host computer running Windows Firewall or any anti-virus software that may be blocking incoming connections? Are you seeing any errors in your server console or in server.log?
Oh wow. I just added the Minecraft port number as an exception to the firewall on the server computer and it works now! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help on this issue.

I have the server up and running on one computer and I'm trying to connect to it from another computer.
