Thank you for viewing my thread. I just set up a new 1.7.10 Forge server for my friends to play on. I am able to Join the server and I can access it by Direct Connecting with my IPv4 address. But I can not Direct Connect by entering my public IP address. I assume no one else will be able to access it either. When I try to Direct Connect with my public IP address it tells me "java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information:"
Please help me solve this problem.
I followed the instructions from a Youtube video carefully to set up the Forge server. I forwarded the ports on my router. I got my public IP address from http://myipaddress.com. I created two rules in Windows Firewall to allow TCP and UDP connection through port 25565.
To try and fix this problem I have tried shutting off my ZoneAlarm firewall and Windows Firewall at the same time and I got a static IP address. I tested to make sure that I could join other public servers.
I visited the canyouseeme.org website and it said it could NOT see me on port 25565. I'm pretty sure I set up the port forwarding correctly. Check out this picture of my port settings. That is my static IPv4 address.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate
i7 4790k, 16GB RAM, R9 290X, SSD, 20Mbs
I am running Java 1.7.0_71 because I couldn't get Minecraft to run at all when I tried to upgrade to Java 8.
Thanks for responding. I got that address from typing "ipconfig" into the command prompt window. This is a static IP address I assigned myself. I am able to Direct Connect to the server with this address, but not with my public IP address. I got my public IP address from myipaddress.com. I am connected to a wireless router.
This is how I assigned myself a static IP address in my routers GUI. I picked this number because it is in my gateway's subnet and outside the dhcp range. I couldn't enter my public ip or my old dynamic IPv4 address without getting an error message.
This is where I may be having a problem, I was unable to give myself a static IP address using the Windows Network Connections - Properties. I tried entering a bunch of different numbers into this window and it never worked. It automatically fills out the Subnet Mask with that number. I tried entering 255.255.255.0 there. When I try to change these settings I get a message saying that it detected a problem and then it resets the changes I made.

Thank you for your time.
Are you sure your IPv4 is 10.0.0.253?
