Are you trying to connect to someone else's server or your own?  If it's yours, use the ip "localhost" instead of your numeric ip. If it's someone else's server, than it's either:

1. Offline

2. Not set up correctly

(btw You don't need to port forward to connect to someone else's server)

Well it is online and working correctly cause some of my friends are playing on it when i try to connect

 

Thanks anyway

 

Edit this is not my server its someone elses

There's a rare chance of security software is getting in the way. Disable it temporarily (google for instructions) then try again, if the issue is resolved, add the IP to the security softwares exception list (google for instructions).

I use norton 360 for security and disabled the firewall but still says cant reach server

[djoveryde]

Norton is one of the worst security program's to interfere even when disabled, you'd have to uninstall it temporarily in order to confirm it's not that

Also what error do you get when you try to connect? Sometimes if the server owner restarts the server that can fix connection issues as for some reason they like to reject select players for reasons beyond me

[Mrteddy999]

On the multiplayer screen it says 'Can't reach server'

And if i try to connect it says 'Failed to connect to the server - connection timed out : connect

It looks to me like you might be Typing in the Wrong Ip Address. I would first Check and make sure your typing it in correctly.

Also after the ip address you would type in  :25586  as the port, and make sure your not using semi colon, so it should look like

this    furyon.ddns.net:25586
