SharicX Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 How do I port forward? I've tried it using to different routers, but no results. Only I can connect to whatever server I'm at but no one else can connect to it. I put in the IP adress and everything. I can connect to it, but no one else can.

Stein Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Sadly, Port Forwarding is different for every router. So there's no magical guide that makes it work on all of them. If we have your Router model we may be able to provide more detailed epxlanations though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharicX Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm not exactly sure what type this is. Take a look at the screenshot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Right, if you hit Firewall you should be able to hit a button similar to "Add new user-defined program" and enter the details there. (Remember that Eclipse uses TCP only, and set the right internal IP!) When done you can use this website to see if the port can be reached: [http://www.canyouseeme.org/](http://www.canyouseeme.org/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharicX Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 But how do I find the internal IP? I only know how to find my external. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorenRenne Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Press "Windows Key" + R together, it will open the Run dialogue.Type: CMDThen press enter.Once done, you get a black box. Then in the black box, type: IPconfigPress enter, and it will give you some details, one of the details will be: IPv4 Address.EG: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharicX Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ok. I got it, but I need help filling in these. And where do I use the internal IP here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharicX Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Is something here perhaps the reason why others cannot connect to my server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm honestly not sure, I've been looking into your router model but all the pictures and information I find uses a whole other interface. It's confusing me quite a bit. Are you sure you don't happen to have any documentation laying around? Although you could always try and disable Stealth Mode, I have no idea what this does. The rest should remain on and running as it's mostly protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharicX Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 What about blocking ping? What does that do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It simply drops ping requests, nothing else. It makes it so people can't ping you remotely, it doesn't affect regular connectivity though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharicX Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Oh ok…But here's my main problem. Whenever I load the server, I see a different IP than my external IP. And whenever I connect to **_that_** IP, it works for _**me**_. But when my friends try to, they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 That's a local IP. It's only valid within your own little network. (In my case that number would be my Wife's computer) It's used to identify computers within your local network, there's been a few different classes of IPs 'unlocked' for local addresses, 192.168.x.x being one of them. Most home networks are set up to use it by default, if you give it to your friends it's likely they'll just try to connect to a computer inside their own house. The real world outside your house network uses a completely different IP, and there's some funny stuff going on in your router to 'translate' the IP addresses to something usable in the outside world, or the local network depending on whether you send or receive data.Instead of me going into the full details, if you're curious I'll leave the wikipedia links down here. It's a lot of work to explain. :P[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorenRenne Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 It seems you had the right tab with the Firewall configuration.Although it isn't requesting an internal IP address to forward to, which is odd but maybe there is a second page of config?You had it setup correctly, then hit Add to list.Once done screenshot the "list" or next page and upload that to see if we can spot where it maps to the local IP.

lauk Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 You need to get No-I for Portfowarding , and a no-static IP system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison858 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 How many pieces of hardware does your wire travel through from the wall to the computer?Are you behind just 1 router, or a router AND a modem?Sometimes the modem acts as a Router/Modem/Firewall. So even if you try to config the 2nd router, nothing will be port forwarded if you have a firewall before that in your modem.**Go to your router, and take a screenshot of your Gateway IP Address, please.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
