Port Forwarding for Minecraft
« on: December 30, 2011, 03:33:35 PM »
Hi Shane,

i have to admit im pretty frustrated because i dont understand what im doing wrong i used your program to open up ports in my router (Verizon router wi424wr rev d) and everything went fine yet when i use your port checked it always says failed. im not quite sure what the issue is i could really use your help. btw the server is for me my brother and sister and we all are in the same house under the same router im not sure if that has anything todo with it. but thank you i could really use your help.

you mean for the router or windows? and why does the port checker say failed if the port forwarding is correct

Make sure DMZ is disabled in the router and also make sure your local IP didnt change on you :wink:

Did you remove the old rule out of the router first or just updated it with the new IP? Post another screen shot of the port forwarding page for me :-)
