Hi everyone:
I want to open port 25565 on my router in order to host a game server. I have completed the following steps carefully:
1) Login to the router.
2) Go to Forwarding.
3) Go to Virtual Server tab.
4) Click "Add New" button.
5) On "Service Port" input "25565".
6) On "IP Address" input my private IP.
7) On "Internal Port" input "25565".
8) Set "Protocol" to "ALL".
9) Set "Status" to "Enabled".
10) Set "Common Service Port" to "---Please Select---".
11) Click "Save".
Since i am also using No-IP's dynamic dns to host a game server, i have configured the router's ddns doing the following:
1) Login to the router.
2) Go to Dynamic DNS tab.
3) Set "Service Provider" to "No-IP".
4) On "Domain Name" input my No-IP domain name.
5) On "Username" input my No-IP username.
6) On "Password" input my No-IP password.
7) Tick "Enable DDNS" checkbox.
8) Click the "Login" button.
9) Click "Save"
After doing all the above steps i tried to connect to my server, in vain. I checked if my port was open in www.canyouseeme.org, but i received a "Connection timed out" error message.
I hope someone can help me.
Many thanks in advance.
T.M.P.
Hi @Kevin_Z!
Many thanks for your reply.
I can not connect to the server neither with the hostname nor with the WAN IP.
When i try to connect to the minecraft server, i receive the following error message:
When i check if the port is open on www.canyouseeme.org, i get this error message:
I looked to another post and i have seen that the problem may be that the WAN IP is private, however this is not my case: My WAN IP looks something like this: 190.xxx.xx.xxx
Many thanks again for your help!
