Tekkit Server not working

[shifter619]

I am trying to set up a private tekkit server for me and my friend to play on, but for some odd reason the server doesn't show up as "on" for my friend. I port forwarded and even made a separate port just for the tekkit server. What ever I try to do to fix it, it never works. Someone help!

NOTE: I am running a 1gb RAM tekkit server because my computer can't handle much more, I don't know if that is the problem or not.

no, the ram isnt the problem. what is your internal ip vs external. you may have either forwarded to the wrong one, or given him the wrong ip

It is the right IP, I use the same IP for my bukkit server and it works just fine, its just when i use it for tekkit it doesn't work.

it might be the other port you are using, i tried the same thing, and couldnt get others to join it- try using the default port

If youre using the local ip (192.168.x.x 10.0.x.x etc) try using the ip you sent to your friend

At first, I used 25565 as the port, then i fowarded 25566 and used that for the server, still didn't work, then I came on here and started this thread. So, the local ip and the suggestion TheSavage1 made, I have already tried

Try using the external ip

Even if you are sure you know what it is search whats my ip on google and try connecting through your own computer using your external ip

I am using localhost, and i tried what you said and I cannot connect, maybe it is something with the external ip.
