I think there is something wrong with my IP; The website canyouseeme.com says it cannot find the port even though I've forwarded 25565 in my firewall and I had the server running
I'm having the same problem.
I have been fussing with this for a few hours now. My server worked back home where I opened ports and all that. I'm with my family and have opened a port in the router according to these instructions, I've run the server and connected to it using my computer and the external IP address. The server properties have not changed since when I last successfully ran it.
In short, I ran the server, I can connect to it using the external ip (I turned it off and it blocked me, so I think I got the right port), and I get the same Error: I could not see your service on External IP address on port (25565) Reason: Connection timed out. even while the server is running and I can connect to it.
I don't know what else I can do to make it externally accessible. The importance of this is that everything else is working, but my friend in Chicago can't connect to me, even though he can connect to other servers like the spartan MC server.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Merari
