i currently run a server on my windows machine and it works perfectly, have the port forwarded and its all good.
but i wanted to set up a 2nd server on my linux machine. im currently running 13.04 and the server seems to run fine and so does the game when im running it thru localhost.
issue is when i try and access the server thru the other computer. its not reading the server as running. ironiclly im able to get on the windows based server with the linux computer no issue when playing the game.
do i need to forward additional ports for the linux machine? or is it an issue because they are running on the same network? im not needing to run them simuntotinasly. but i noticed the windows uses the same ip as the linux machines server, and i feel this is where the issues stems from.
When I set up my first server off my computer, I wondered this as well. The problem isnt that the ports are wrong, but you need a different IP address to access the server from a different computer on the same wifi. To find this IP address, go onto the computer that you host it on. Go to the cmd and type Ipconfig. Find an entry named IPV4 address. Use that address to access the server on other computers in the same wifi.

okay so use the ipv4 when i wanna get on the server from a computer within the network. that does help so i can continue setting it up. only other thing is, will other be able to get on? cause when i was able to access the server via local host and the ip when running the windows based server
In order for someone to access two different server located on the same network, both servers would need to have different ports. For example, the windows one may be example.ip:25565 and the linux on could be example.ip:25566. The ip that others type in would be the same but the port would have to be different.
