Author Topic: Port forward help - I portforwarded, says server is online, firewall is off  (Read 912 times)

thats not the port lol thats the IP4 number.
the 192.168.1.XXX, that last number identified your computer on the router. the internal/external numbers are the ports or port ranges.
i know.

I mean, look at the minecraft port, 25655, see how that says 192.168.1.94? I changed that 94 to 132.

so its now forwarded to 192.168.1.132

its now forwarded to 192.168.1.132

if the computer that is hosting the game is identified by the network as computer 132 then its right.
why you changed it from 94? did you unplug it from that giant lan party you are having, then 38 more people showed up, then you reconnected and got a new IP4 number?

you may or may not be doing it right, but its just incredibly odd that you were assigned any numbers more then the amount of computer that are even in your house.

well then what should I do?

192.168.1.###

those numbers listed on your router there, each one identifies each computer/console/whatever device that uses net on your network.

you have to check to see what your comp is.
network sharing center > local area connection > details > (IP4 #)

then for everything you port forward on your comp, you have to use that number as the IP you are forwarding to.

resetting modems and routers can sometimes reset these numbers. depending on the kind of net you use. so rechecking that IP4 and updating it on your forwards is needed sometimes.

im at my friends house here. 4 guys use several computers and phones and xboxs and stuff.
when i plugged my comp in, i was given 192.168.1.112, being that i was the 12th device to use its net.
