Magister Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 check the ip address of the server and make sure you are entering it correctly, double check your port forwarding. if you are hosting the server localy on your own network try giving the server a static address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGomoosrsly Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Make sure you're connecting to the IP on that exact port. e.g 123.45.678.9:25565 Also, make sure you have forwarded 25565 as TCP, and 25566 as UDP. (Depending on your Router you might have to "tell" it to forward those to your computers internal IP, eg. 10.0.0.120 / 192.168.0.120 etc. Found through cmd > ipconfig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k7s41gx Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If your hosting locally you should also try to put your machine on a DMZ through your router. Make sure all firewalls have allowed access to the Java. A temporary solution to double check its not your firewall would be to temporarily turn them off. If this doesnt correct the issue then make sure the appropriate ports are forwarded through your router. If your unsure of how do set up port forwarding or DMZ on your router, try googling for answer. There are a lot of helpful tutorials out there on how to properly setup and forward ports.
