[Tekkit Server/Port Forwarding Issue/Bug/Glitch/Problem-Whatever]

OK from here it's all down to the port forward.

First thing to double check is your router's port forwarding configuration. Double check that under "Port Forwarding List", that it says:

25565-25565 TCP 192.168.0.2 N/A N/A

Then check it vs a tool such as http://www.canyouseeme.org/

Just enter "25565" into that site and see what the resultant output is.

Sorry, skip that step - I forgot to take it out. I've amended the list of steps.

EDIT: Ah, so you got the firewall exception in OK? So Tekkit can now connect via 192.168.0.2 now?

Connecting to 127.0.0.1/localhost won't work while you have "server-ip=" has an IP listed in server.properties. I would personally remove the IP from that line so it just reads "server-ip=", and restart the server - then see how it goes.

1) First step, we should verify that the server was successfully able to get port 25565. Type this at a command prompt:

[tt]netstat -an | find "25565"[/tt]

If you get a result that says something like either of the following two lines:

[tt]TCP 0.0.0.0:25565 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING[/tt]

[tt]TCP 192.168.0.2:25565 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING[/tt]

Then the Tekkit/MineCraft side of things is all OK. I suspect that based on what you have put in your server.properties file, that you will get the second line.

2) Now we need to check your PC's firewall.

• In the bottom right corner of the screen next to the time, there should be an icon of a screen with a plug over it - which when hovered over says "Network xx, Internet access". Click this once, and select "Network and Sharing Center".
  
• In the bottom left of the screen, it should say "Windows Firewall". Select this.
  
• Click "Advanced Settings".
  
• Click "Inbound Rules".
  
• Click "New Rule".
  
• Select "Port", click Next.
  
• Make sure "TCP" is selected, and in the "Specific local ports" box, enter "25565". Click Next.
  
• Make sure "Allow" is selected, and click Next.
  
• Make sure all boxes are ticked, and click Next.
  
• Name the rule something like "Tekkit Server" and click Finish.
  

Then give it another try.

[Problem upgrading server]

My wireless transmitters/receivers were simply erased by the conversion process - there seem to be a bunch more wireless goodies in this version.

We're going to need to know exactly where you're up to in the process - I'm not 100% on where you became unstuck.
