Network feedback happens when a signal coming from inside a routers system is directed out of thw router, and then right back into it. This problem is caused by what is called FEEDBACK, or network feedback. This problem is not caused by issues with ports or your router/modem. Having been told that this is not the problem, I have an edit. It is very easy to find, simply go to and search 'what is my ip' like so:Īfter your ports are all set up, have your friend connect to the IP show by google (mine is asterisked out). What you are looking for is your public IP. Unless they are on the same network as you, their machine will have no way of finding yours. Each device connected to the network will have a unique IP, for example:īut this does not allow your friend to connect to your computer. When multiple devices are connected to the router this is called a LAN, or Local Area Network. You see, your device (in this case your computer) is connected to your router, which sets up a local connection. Your problem is that you gave your friend your local IP, not your public IP. You did follow all of the correct steps involved with setting up your ports on your router/modem and your firewall. Your problem here has nothing to do with the ports you are using. I tried getting him to use 25565 as well (modified the NAT rule changing my internal ip to his) stated that his port is open but when we try to connect to the server, we keep getting the connection refused message. I used port 25565 and he used 2224, a port that is not used by anything. anyone know what could have possibly gone wrong? I tried getting my friend to follow the same step but idk why it doesnt work for him. Then I used to check if the port is open.ĭMZ is set to my internal IPv4 address (we changed it to his when we try to get his server up)Īt first mine did not work, but after reseting the modem and giving it 5 minutes or so, I was able to get on with my public ip obtained from Then I allowed the port in my firewall's advanced settings: I followed this guide and did a bit more research and I was able to connect to my server, but my friend couldn't get his server with his despite using the same method as I did. My friend and I decided to try making our own 1.7.9 server but we ran into some problem with ports.
