You need a static I.P address, Forward port 25565, to see if your port is open have the mincecraft server RUNNING and then go to:

If it is then Kudos to you. :y:

you'll also have to set up your mods Ect... so you can use server comands / build shit by adding your usernames to 'ops.txt' and 'whitelist.txt'
Once you've set up connect by either typing in your external I.P (your buddy will need this) into the multilayer menu on minecraft of type 'localhost'. If you really get stuck ill re-download team viewer.

it says it isnt open when i go to open port check
but when i type that default gateway into my address bar it shows it as being open could you please teamviewer me ? and do it for me !

Can't tonight, remind me tomorrow. :bro:

can anyone else do it for me ?

i had the same problem mate. i could run a server and i could join but my mate couldnt. even after port forwarding. i ended up making a hamachi server. look up tutorials on youtube. its been great for me. (Y) hope you get it to work.

also mate. are you typing your local ip or actual ip? we were doing that at the start. go on whatsmyip.net. the numbers on the top should be what your friend tries to connect to followed by :25565. example... 94.125.34.124:25565

im using my actual ip 192.168.0.3 :S is that wrong :S?

That's your internal I. For you real one go to :

so i entered that with my server running on multiplayer and i got connection refused :S

woudln't release your IP to the world bro, There's some dribblers that will ping you.

And type 'localhost' without the quotes instead of your ip and it will work:

Also you said your port wasn't showing open, that is your problem.
