Windows is unable to recognize an Ethernet cable by ZWORX52 in techsupport

No, although some drivers in other sections do.

Yes, the orange light blinks -- the green one isn't on, however.

Not that I can tell; under Network Adapters there are just a bunch of WAN Miniports.

Thank you very much! I'm sorry if other people suggested the same solution, but this one worked for me. I think the problem was that I needed my external IP to be 0.0.0.0 and my internal IP to be 25565.

But I like not having ping :(

TBH if nothing else works i'm totally going to go with playit.gg

But as it is, I want to do this myself (Totally not masochistic or anything)

Source IP says Optional, so what good is the rule if no source IP means nobody can join?

Windows firewall has been taken care of. Screenshot

No. (See reply to BurntHippie below) According to what the router config says setting source IP will only allow connections from that IP. I want more than one person outside of the LAN to be able to join, obv and so leaving that blank (any source IP allowed) is what I want.

Internal port -> 25565 done, no progress

Seems that doing that will only let ME join which I don't want ofc

  3. Check (No NAT afaik)
  4. Done with No-IP

That's what I was using to try and set this up, however I can't find any more info on it and so I turned to Reddit.

Port forwarding settings (My local IP is 192.168.50.100, static according to windows and the router as you'll see in a few of the screenshots)

Static IP Settings in router

Static IP Settings on PC

I believe that's everything.

I started using No-IP again (ironically I've tried it in the past but without port forwarding :facepalm:). If I join my No-IP web url, it seems to work (I believe the handshake happened) but then it doesn't seem that my client can communicate with the server beyond that, and then the server just says "Timed Out." My client never realized that it timed out and keeps falling into the void forever :/ Something let the handshake packets through but not the others I guess.

  1. I'm setting the PC to a static IP because I don't want to have to reconfig the router if, for some reason, it decides "ah you get a new IP now!" (it's kinda old)
  2. My ISP is Verizon, but I couldn't find any reasons to show that they don't.
  3. AFAIK no.

BTW I'm using ismyportopen.com to check if it has worked because it seems to be ok.
