When I or a friend tries to connect to my minecraft server, I/they get this error:

When I tested to see on CanYouSeeMe.org if my port is open, an error appeared, saying "Error: I could not see your service on 24.11.234.8 on port (25565) Reason: Connection timed out" I have my port forwarded, and I made a firewall and antivirus exception, so I Have no idea what to do next. Here is my portforward:

Hello Minecraft Fourms. I have made a private forge server and port forwarded it and got it all running. Later I added more RAM to the server, amd now it seems that the server is not being port forwarded anymore. I have checked my firewall and permissions, they are all good as far as I can tell. I am completely lost at this point, and any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you all in advance.

Never mind my problem. I just realized that Windows 7 firewall was blocking the internet access.

Change TCP to both. If both is not an option you have to make another port forward looking exactly like that only select UDP instead of TCP. Minecraft needs both of these to work properly.

I changed it, but it's still not working.

Can you screenshot what it looks like now?

Here it is from two different views:

Okay, and if you check on http://canyouseeme.org while the server is running it says 25565 is closed? Also make sure server-ip is blank in server.properties.

Here are my results from CanYouSeeMe.org:

And I'm 100% sure my server-ip in properties is blank. I've tried filling it out with both the internal ip and the ip I'm supposed to use as well, and neither of them work.

Try this perhaps?

I made an exception for the server for both my firewall and my antivirus, and neither of those fixed the problem.

I don't know if this is important or not, but people on my LAN can connect to the server when it is up by using my computer's internal ip address. It's still impossible for people off my LAN to connect, though, no matter what ip they use, and that's what really matters.

Alright, so I've followed your tutorial word for word, but when I go to canyouseeme.org, it can't see my server. I don't know what's wrong, but if it helps with solving the problem, I do my port forwarding through Verizon.

Can anyone help me? I'm still at a loss for what to do.

I use McProHosting to host my server, and would like to use Dynmap as a plugin. I have been told that Portforwarding is needed in order for this plugin to work, and I don't believe that McPro offers that as a feature. What exactly can I do to make it so I can get Dynmap to work on my server?

I'm having the same problem as BlueMachete, my port doesn't forward at all after I've unblocked "Anonymous Internet Requests." I've followed multiple guides/tutorials (including this one) with no success.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm having some issues trying to get this working.
My ports are forwarded, but what do I do to get the actual server up? On most games (Source games, at least) after the portforwarding is done, all I have to do is click "Create Server" and people can join from there. I don't see any option like that with Minecraft. I don't have the money or time to buy and keep a full server running, I just want to play a private game with my friends.

Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

Hi There,
I'm looking for some help port forwarding through my apartment building. We have a weird network setup with only a modem and then wireless broadcast points in the building. I have my server up and running but cannot connect to it with my other computer. The modem we have here is a Motorola sb6120. I know modems usually have all ports open but I can't seem to connect to the server on my laptop through it. So I have a couple questions.

1) is there something I need to do on my laptop (firewall settings or something?) to get the port to go through?
2) I have the modem properties page and in the configuration settings it says "Modem's IP mode: IPV 6 only". Might this be the cause of my connection problem?
3) UPDATE!! I found that our apartment has ASUS wl-330gE wireless access points outside each unit. These can aparently be configured as routers. I can't access it with 192.168.1.1 ip. I'm guessing this may be the problem in my chain. Any suggestions here other than contacting my landlord so see if I can access it?

I can't find anything on the modem page pertaining to firewalls or passwords (unless i need to get those elsewhere) so I don't think that is the problem.

Potentially important info: The wifi properties on my laptop (which is running the server) says I have ipv4 connectivity but no ipv6 (even though the router page says it is running in ipv6 mode only.
The modem is running off of cable (if this makes a difference or not)
We do have wireless passwords to connect to the wireless at my apartment since each unit has a seperate wifi signal. WPA personal security type with tkip encription type

Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks for the help!

So I had the same issue on this certain PC, and I think it's an issue with the PC itself but I'm not so sure. I have a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 modem. I've entered everything in correctly for the IPv4 address and ports in the forwarding. It's just not forwarding. I've used canyouseeme.org and yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to check and it all said it wasn't able to connect. I'm running my MC server while doing so too.

Exact same issue as BlueMachete; people on local network can connect, but no matter after countless hours of retrying to port-forward/add inbound and outbound rules for the 25565 port in my firewall (which I can now do eyes closed...) it still does not work for external connections.

Here's my complete issue with pictures, if anyone can notice what's wrong with my setup, I would be grateful.
