I Resently wiped my PC So the portforwarding on my Router was not linked to my computer.

I re-portforward it correctly and the soerver just wount let anyone on(apart from me)

Can anyone help?

You remembered to insert the correct ipv4 in your portforwarding settings?

 

Did you correctly portfoward the right port? 25565?

BT are little bitches for port forwarding.
Right, I'm on BT so I can help.
Firstly, check your port forwarding AGAIN as it likes to undo itself.
Now, if it's still up, restart your router. When you're up, check the port forwarding again. If it's good, you're good.
Now, I don't like Macs but here you go, flush your DNS cache in terminal:
OS X Mountain Lion or Lion
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Mac OS X v10.6
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
Now, restart your "Computer" (sorry)
Start your server up again and watch your CPU max (again, I hate Apple)
Open up Minecraft and join your server, run around a little at 5FPS (don't hate me)
Tell your friend to join, it should have worked. If it didn't, buy a PC (joking) No seriously, if it didn't work, it's his internet.

 

I did ALL OF IT ( apart from the mac stuff(I HATE MACS))

And it not work

 

SirRainbowGamer
Those screenshots made me think you were on a Mac. I'm glad to hear that you're not.
Alright, rinse and repeat. This time for the DNS cache, open up Command prompt by searching "cmd" then hitting enter, type this:
ipconfig /flushdns
Then retry.

 

Done, But still he cant connect

 

Do you have a static ip set up?

 

sorry i dont know what a "static ip" is

 

So i dont think i can host a private server on my pc anymore..... there dosn't seem to be a reasom

 

SirRainbowGamer A static ip is an ip that doesn't change, if it changes then the portforward will mess up

 

no thats not how it works i have NEVER had a static ip i've always had dinamic and its ALWAYS worked... till i wiped my PC

 

Marsyoranges You do not need a static ip to host a server but it is prefered
SirRainbowGamer Currently who can log onto the server and with what type of address eg) IPv4, localhost, External Ip

 

jacklin213 i can log on with localhost

 

SirRainbowGamer have you already tried to disable antivirus firewall?

 

Well because i have home hub 3 it has a sort of fire wall witch i have disabled/allowed in comeing game connections but not Mcfee 'cuz it hasn't said "allow" or "disallow"
