#Friend Cannot Connect to Server

I tried this, nothing changes : /, should He disable his firewall?
nope, only host matters.
If it's not firewall then it's port forward, FYI TCP should be done clearly without UPnP
have you restarted router after?
No clue then.
I can only recommend switch to radmin for time being, you are free to use portchecker websites or tool provided in #udp-tester to test UDP for reference.
Only possible issues that could come up with settings up a direct connection.
Internally - Your machine settings, firewall, check ipconfig, see if the port listens in netstat.
Externally - Your router port forwarding, UPnP and your friend being a dumbell inserting IP not in the place he should, or with typos, or with no port, or with no http://.
my friend cannot connect via either,
gotchu
The fact you cannot connect to yourself using external might be either meaning that you don't have a loopback or your ports are still closed.
So..yeah.
yeah my network engineer friend said there might be no loopback which would be weird.. but.. the ports are open AFAIK
its strange
thats the bottom of my ipconfig
Huh...Default gateway in IPv6
Now this is interesting...
You have external in IPv4, internal in IPv4, but for some reason you also have IPv6 in gateway...
I'm lacking brain wrinkles to understand why would IPv6 be in semi local domains, and is it even relevant to the issue.
I think... I'm going to come back to this tomorrow, maybe VC trouble shoot or ask my network engineer friend for some help
Thank you for the troubleshooting so far : )
