Since when? It's been a lot of years since I was in school, so I wandered over to a few handy Internet dictionaries.
None of them mention spelling at all in defining grammar. Which makes sense to me, since that agrees with how I learned those concepts, back in the '60s. :wink.gif:
Have someone outside your network try to connect to your public IP. You may not be able to connect to your public IP from within the network.

Figured it out.. I guess .jar files arent allowed since windows firewall only creates exceptions for .exe files. But i found a way around it by opening up CMD and using the following code to execute the server:
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
I guess it works since command prompt is a .exe file. I wish i could just run the .jar instead so i dont have to mess with the command prompt every time, or maybe a batch file will work
When I was running a server on this computer, I was using a batch file to start it, and Windows firewall didn't give me any troubles. Maybe that's it.
What a silly restriction, though. If I tell a firewall to allow 25565 TCP inbound through, I darn well expect it to allow that traffic. Even if there's no program at all to receive it. :blink.gif:
Ok, thanks SO much! that works, now it says that it is Unable to access jarfile mincraft_server.jar . It would be great if you have any ideas but I think it might just be a matter of me moving stuff around or something. Its currently being read be WinRar, is that an issue. the name of the file is minecraft_server.jar but its an WinRAR archive file is that a problem. I am trying to get mods at some point.
That should just mean that minecraft_server.jar isn't in the same directory as the batch file. Either put it in the same directory, or make the batch file look in the correct directory, like the Java command works.
It's possible that WinRAR locks the file. If it seems to be in the correct location, try closing WinRAR to see if that's the problem.
I assume you just misspelled the name of the jar here, right? There's an 'e' missing.
Did you leave all three profiles (Domain, Private, Public) checked?
It's odd, that should work.
Rule Type: Port
Protocol and Ports: TCP & UDP, Specific local port 25565.
Action: Allow the connection
Profile: Domain, Private, Public
Name: Minecraft
I would think you had another firewall running, except you said turning it off allowed connections. Weird.
That's not where your Java is installed. :wink.gif:
a ) If you aren't running 64-bit Windows, you don't have a 'Program Files (x86)' folder at all.
b ) If you're running 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Java, or 32-bit Windows and Java, it is in 'Program Files'.
Easy way is to get out Windows Explorer and look for it.
To view extensions in Windows Explorer:
Open Windows Explorer (location doesn't matter).
Press 'Alt' key to open the menu.
Choose Tools, Folder Options...
Click on View tab.
Clear the checkbox in front of Hide extensions for known file types.
Click OK.
Now you can see all the extensions. Remove the '.txt' from the end of your batch file, put on '.bat' if you still need to.

You are forwarding to the wrong IP address. Your server's address is not 192.168.0.0.
Run cmd on the server and type ipconfig. Scroll up to the top, the first entry that has "IPv4" in front of it is almost always the correct IP.

One assumes that is true of the actions of regular moderators as well. :wink.gif:

Recheck your server IP is correct.
Have someone outside your network try to connect to your public IP. You may not be able to connect to your public IP from within the network.

That's what I use too.
Oh, I see the problem
You have a dot between "bin" and "java.exe". That should be a backslash. I should have spotted that earlier.

MasterDover, you and I should figure some system to keep from double-answering the same threads. :laugh.gif:

I assume Windows 7?
There are separate inbound and outbound rules. On your server, you need to create an inbound rule for port 25565. Is that what you did?

2) Especially, did you check the little Enabled checkbox?
