As the Title is showing, I'm having server issues.
Now. well get this straight before you guys ask me.
Do I have my port Forward? Yes.
Do I have good internet connection. Yes, I also was connected by LAN not wireless.
Can my computer take running a server. Yes, by alot.
Does he have good internet? Yes. speed wise, its the same as mine. (same internet provider too)
Did he do anything to his computer between then and now? no, besides random normal updates that every computer has.(try undoing them? why does it affect connection to a server if he does? Isn't this a internet problem.)
Alright. So here's the story.
I set up a server and all that jazz.
The next day i got my port forwarded, I got my friend(Ryan, to keep things straight) to join me in the server. He didn't have a problem. no lag. no issues.
Ryan, lives in the same town as me (2+ miles away). His internet connection is as good as mine.
A week past. I went over to his house. and we got on the server again. We were on the same network, so we used the normal 192.168.1.blah to get on. I did make a port forward on his router to see if someone else could get on, but they never tried. they went to bed.
Now this week, I put up my server again. I got 2 other friend to join. Friend 1 also lives in the same town as Ryan and I. He lives on the outskirts of the town so and easy 5-10+ miles out. He joined in without a problem.
(Friend 2) Lives in Canada. So you know i figured if he could join anyone could right? lol. He ofcourse was a bit laggy. and left not so long afterward. But Ryan who could get on before, could no longer join. He as last time tired to use the same external IP to get into my server. (Friend 1) Used it and got in just fine. (dido with friend 2) But for Ryan, his wouldn't connect(cannot reach server). He could connect to other servers on minecraft, just not my server.
So we tried a few things.
First. We took away his port forward. nothing.
Second. I Told him to connect doing ##.##.###.##:25565 (the port thats open). Nope
Third. I changed my port to 25544 (forward it too) and made him change it to :25544, and nope. (did changed server settings/restart server)
We first thought it could be my end. But how could it be me if two other ppl could join?
So we went to his end, but how could it be his end if he could connect to other servers?
So... we were stumped. No idea what to do.
Any help?
