what ip do i give to my players?
topaz copper
half ravine
yeah that dont work
i did all there is to do, port forwarding to pc, local firewalls, checked with port check tool
i tried setting my ip address in server.properties but then the server doesnt start
topaz copper
can you join the server if you type in "localhost" as the address?
half ravine
can you join the server if you type in "localhost" as the address?
if i leave this blank, yes
if i use either my ext or int ip, no
topaz copper
Yeah that's supposed to be empty so that it binds to 0.0.0.0 i guess
half ravine
ext crashes it and int lets me join only using local internet
but im not playing lan
half ravine
Yeah that's supposed to be empty so that it binds to 0.0.0.0 i guess
so what else is left to try?
topaz copper
if you can join with the localhost address but not with the public address that you give your friends then the problem is between your computer and your router probably
doesn't matter if you're playing lan or not, it still has to bind to 0.0.0.0 as it is running in the computer

i got rules on windows firewall inbound and aoutbound, on the correct port, both tcp and udp
and i did set the rule in my router
like this
its in spanish but its self explanatory
topaz copper
That's the firewall correct? You need to setup NAT in the router so that requests to your-public-ip:minecraft-port are routed to your-private-computer-ip:minecraft-port. The firewall rule allows the traffic but the NAT rule does the routing
Also, I speak spanish so no prob
and I might be wrong but that firewall rule is backwards
topaz copper
generally you want to allow traffic from the request initiator to the request destination, in this case from * to 192.168.1.76

so i switch local to remote and leave local blank?
yeah, initial cannot be left blank
are any of these grey ones perhaps setting i need to do too?
topaz copper
then it's probably ok. For NAT do basically the same thing where local is your local ip, port is 25565, protocol is both and remote ip is empty

i think that IS nat
topaz copper
the screenshot you sent before was from the nat rule or the firewall rule?
half ravine
nat, i believe, it was in the magentaish port forwarding menu
topaz copper
cool, check the configuracion firewall menu and report back with what you see
topaz copper
try configuring: direccion entrada, protocolo both, fuente as 0.0.0.0 with mascara 0.0.0.0 (or just 0 if it allows) and destino as 192.168.1.76 with netmask 255.255.255.255. For source port do 0-65535 and for destination port 25565
make sure direccion is entrada
you could also disable the firewall completely temporarily to see if its a firewall issue
i would disable it first to see if that's the issue and then work on setting up the proper firewall rules to avoid wasting time

use this site to check if the port is open in your router https://canyouseeme.org/
