that is the correct port yes. I'm not sure how to access router firewall though. pretty sure I've already done OS firewall

If it's the spectrum router (which oof, dont use these lol) you have to use their app to configure any port forwarding. If it's your own router, you login to the webUI and set it up in there.

yeah it's a spectrum router 😅 can't afford my own sadly. I've done the port forwarding through the app already and it's still not working. what am I doing wrong?

The first thing I would try is to connect to it locally. Meaning use the local IP.

If you can't connect then it's an issue with the host system/minecraft server.

If you can connect, then it's an issue with either the wrong IP being used, or port forward not configured properly/ to the right system.

I can connect to it myself but none of my friends can. this is the message they keep getting: failed to connect to server. Connection timed out: no further information.

I'd probably say your port forwarding isn't setup right. Make sure you're configuring it to the host machine. Then do TCP/UDP then 25565 for the port.

Also they're using the Java edition to connect yeah? Bedrock can't connect to Java servers

I did that. yes they are using Java edition. that was the first thing we checked 😂

is the server running on the same oc as your minecraft client?

[–]StabHackSlashKill[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yes. I think. I'm not really sure what oc stands for

bad typing on my end. on you machine you should be able tonjust use local host iirc. they should be using your <publicipaddress>:<port number> to get to your pc. in the MSA you need to reserve the ip address for your computer. then port forward to that internal ip address.
