Asdf Port forwarding

[GenaralSkar]

Trying to port forward for Minecraft and it won't work.
I'm using a Actiontec PK5000 router.

I've tried so many different things many different times, but I can't get it to work, help please?

Same here, because I portforwarded for gmod and it doesn't work.

If all else fails, use Hamachi.

If all else fails, use Hamachi.

How would that help?

How would that help?

Because Hamachi creates a Virtual Private Network (VPN) whereas you can make a server without the need to port forward.

Why does everyone have trouble with port forwarding?

Anyways are you using a static or dynamic IP address?

It lets people connect to your LAN games over internet right? Well I don't know how to create a Minecraft LAN game, or do I want people that join my server to have to download Hamachi just to play in it.

Idk, using Windows 7 and using the IPv4 address.

Yeah that's pretty much what a server that uses Hamachi needs. If you're interested there is a guide that will give you instructions to create a Hamachi-based server.

If you don't have a static IP you might want to set one. Depends on your router because my router only forwards ports for a set IP rather than a dynamic range.

I did, but it still didn't work. My router uses a range for ports, so are there certain ports that I need to use?

EDIT: This is what I am putting in:

Bump.

Port forwarding Blockland doesn't even work. I have to use cable that I still have to host, but I'm not going to have it forever.

Sure is nice of you to set up your local port. That way if your little brother wants to play Blockland from another computer, he can!
