No one can connect to my server except me

[NuclearManx]

Launcher/pack Version:

Tekkit 2.1.0

Operating System:

Windows 7 64 bit

Version of Java:

V6 32 bit, V6 64 bit, V7 64 bit

Description of Problem:

When anyone connects to my server it just says connection refused or cannot reach server. On the console it doesen't say they are trying to join and i'v tried hamachi and port forward both don't work . I can connect perfectly fine, i'v tried running tekkit in java 6 mode and java 7. I'v been trying for about 3 hours now checking it but nothing works. The only anti virus i have is malware bytes and norton (It's a new computer and came with trial but not activated it yet). I'v tried LAN and wireless connection and nothing .

Error Messages:

Cannot connect to server

Cannot reach server

ALL HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED!

If their connection attempt doesn't even register in teh server log it means that it's being blocked before it even reaches you. This means that a firewall or router is denying the connection.

1 ) Deactivate your firewall completely and have people try to connect. If this changes nothing then it must be your router.

2 ) If it's your router then you'll need to forward your port. I know you said you did, but trust me it's hellaciously easy to bollocks that process up.

Is a decent resource for finding a port forwarding guide for your router specifically. Or you can just google the manufacturer and model number.

Very generally, forwarding a port entails: naming the exception, telling the router which port wil be forwarded, and then where it will be forwarded to. You'll need to know which port your server is using (shoudl be 25565) and then your local IP under the router. It fou go into the command prompt and enter "ipconfig" it should be your ipv4 address.

If this doesn't work then I suggest finding a nice outdoor hobby, cause that's all I got.

What's your ISP and router model?
