jacobdynomite Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hello my name is Jacob and I have been running a tekkit server for about 2 weeks now it is just for me and 2 of my friends. I often turn it on and off and has been working fine until now. I have restarted the server and launched it again. The problem is that I can not connect with localhost or 127.0.0.1 and my two friends cant connect to the server either. The messages Can`t Reach Server comes up. (My two friends are using my external ip to connect) THINGS I HAVE TRIED: restarting the server redownloading server files restarting my computer make sure port forwarding is good PLEASE HELP D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomo Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Have you maybe switched from wired to wireless connection? That might be a problem -> results in different IPv4 address. (and you shouldn't use 127.0.0.1 as your server address, rather your IPv4 one -> "Start" + type "CMD" + press "Enter" + type "ipconfig" + press "Enter" and check your PC address) And your friends can use the external one to connect (you can check it here http://www.ipchicken.com .. that is, if it's static).. and if you have dynamic IP address, you might wanna sign up at http://www.noip.com and use their free DDNS service.
