I have a friend who I watched type in the exact IP i typed in but her gets an error saying: "Cant Resolve Host Name"

How do I fix that?

Bump and help!!!

check to make sure that you give him the outer IP, not the one you use.

go there to find your actual IP.

Then, make sure you're doing the :25565, and that you opened that port.

It is a ip like this: mc.*****.me:25567 and it doesn't work for her but it works for me!?

Just going out on a limb: Any mods with the clients? And have you tried to force update and see the cause?

No mods pure vanilla

Cant resolve hostname is an error being thrown by the DNS. DNS records can sometimes take a day to propagate throughout the entire system. Give it some time and try again tomorrow.
