Just to let you know i've tried all sorts of things and port forwarding was still not the answer, if i leave the ip black in the properties i can connect with local host but nobody else can connect with my ip, if i put my ip in the properties nobody can connect.
I tried it with my laptop yesterday and it connected, so yeah.
I did actually connect on this computer at one point, when i first made the server i tried it and it worked, but i never actually played it.
That probably just confuses things further but yeah.
Under the PATH i have this after adding the semi colon ( ; ), C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin;
But my ipconfig still doesn't work even if i run cmd as an admin.
That's another thing, my ipconfig doesn't work, it says 'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I've only had the computer a couple of days, yet so many problems occurring.
