Port Forwarding on T3200
Hi all, I've read through the forums, and it seems this has been asked before in dozens of iterations, but never in the same way, and never really solved. I'm trying to port forward on my T32...
Have you tried connecting to the server from the Internet with Minecraft rather than just testing with canyouseeme?
If it helps at all to see what I've done, I can post a couple screenshots:
Here's how I've got port forwarding set up under Firewall>Port Forwarding, where LAN IP Address = the internal IP of the maching running my server.
Here's my firwall status showing that everyting appears to be hunky dory?
Your images will only show up after a Mod reviews them.
Until then can you check the WAN IP (Internet side not LAN side) and see if it matches the IP address you see in canyouseeme.org?
Sure. Yes, it does match.
Good, that means you aren't behind Carrier Grade NAT and port forwarding should work.
Is the Minecraft server up and running when you are doing the port test from canyouseeme?
Yes, and I'm able to connect to it from other computers in the same network.
Just for funsies, I attempted some other diagnostics. I had a look in netstat command and found 25565 there, but it doesn't show as listening. I don't see anything else using that port either, of course, so that's not the issue. But I had the idea to configure a custom port in my server settings, 1026, and restart the server. Then, I tried to portforward 1026. I wish I could say this story had a happy ending, but it does not. Canyouseeme finds this port closed, as well. I'm confounded.
