My friend and I used to play on a few MMO servers, like HiveMC, Mineplex, etc., as well as my own port forwarded sever. Recently, though, she can't connect to any minecraft servers whatsoever. Aside from her steam account, everything else connects to the internet just fine. We're pretty sure the problem is her router; her family got a new one. Her ISP is the same, only the router changed. She connects with no problem on other internet connections, like on our school's wifi.
What all on a router could cause this? It's not my router, so I don't want to just go in there and mess with everything until it works. Instead, I'm trying to find out what to look at on a router that could be the problem.
- If the 25565 port is blocked, could that her connection to servers? or does that only matter on the server's router?
- Can routers block IP addresses, such as Minecraft's IP address that allows people to log on to servers?

- Any other ideas are appreciated, too!
Thank you so much in advance!

Moderatorportforwarding is only for when running a server, doing it will not effect connecting to another server.
its possible something else (none router related) is causing the issue, getting a HijackThis log would be helpful
If they blocked port 25565 that can cause the issue.
OP please gives us a hijackthis report. How to is in my sig.
I helped her look at her router, and it turned out the port was just blocked. It's all taken care of now
Thanks for helping!
