Hi all,
I had a minecraft server setup on previous broadband provider (EE). I had set up port forwarding for port 25565 on my gaming pc. Everything worked fine, my friends could connect using my public IP and i could also connect using my public ip address.
Fast forward to today. I had recently switched to BT and had my modem, router and everything setup. Internet connection is great.
I setup portforwarding on my new router, selected my pc as the portforward device, added 25565 to both internal and external ports, then launched and ran my server. I tried connecting to it using my public ip address and I couldn't connect at all.
I then did some diagnosing and added the port 25565 to my inbound and outbound rules for my pc (firewall).
I restarted the server then tried connecting again and still no luck. I then checked CanYouSeeMe.org to see if my ip address and port was visible, this is what i got:
I then also checked GRC to see what the status of my ports where and this was the result:
I have no idea what else to do and how to get this working...
I have contacted BT customer support, I was then told that the people I called were not trained to handle this sort of thing and when I asked if their IT team had a contact number they said no.
I don't know what else to do...
Try disabling UPnP, it might be causing a conflict.
How were you trying to connect, via your own wifi or 4G?
NAT loopback is a bit unpredictable, best try connecting via 4G

Are there any cons to this? Will my chromecast and stuff still work?
No idea, try it and see.
Unfortunately doesnt work. Thanks tho!
Did you see the edit to my post regarding NAT loopback.
Via my own wifi, I have also tried conencting to my local ipv4 address then adding the :25565 extension to address NAT loopback (googled this). Nothing works
Try it via 4G
