How does port-forwarding work ??
Hi !
I am trying to set up port-forwarding on my router for my Minecraft server, among other games. However, I'm having difficulties with how the system works on the http://tplinkwifi.net webpage. I set a static IP. What I managed to do thus far is to set up the Virtual Server in the the NAT Forwarding tab with the following details:
Service Type: Minecraft etc.
External Port: 25565
Internal IP: my static IP Address (the IPv4 address that a CMD ipconfig/all shows me after making the static IP address)
Internal Port: 25565
Protocol: TCP
It didn't work cause I still experienced lagspikes on the server, having to hit blocks inside the game twice to destroy them.
Then, I went to the Port Triggering sub-tab and added:
Application: Minecraft etc.
Triggering Port: 25565
Triggering Protocol: TCP
External Port: 25565
External Protocol: TCP
And Enabled the entry
Yet again, it didn't work. It is still laggspikey.
I disabled the DHCP Server option, but still to no good.
Am I doing something wrong ? Is there any other detail I didn't look over ?
