The server thinks that the IP: 177.101.41.196 is my external server but in fact my external IP with open ports is the IP: 177.101.32.125 this causes problems appearing in the server list because the IP 177.101.41.196 does not accept external connections.

What IP is the one that you can manually connect to?

#

And is the server running right now?

in basic tcp/ip a packet leaving your network is 'return-addressed' with the address of the interface it leaves from. it sounds like you have two IPs assigned to the same interface, which means one (the one you want to use) is a 'VIP' or 'virtual IP'. there's two ways to change this behavour, either setting the default ip address of this interface to the 'correct' ip address, if you can (which you may not be able to since it's on your WAN interface) or creating an 'outbound NAT rule' in your firewall that assigns the 'correct' IP to packets matching.

Here's a snippet of how such a configuration would look on my firewall:

Try using the -ip parameter when launching the server to change the IP in that case

That -ip is your public IP

Whichever one your server provider gave to you
