Alright, basically it is not letting my sister log onto my server from her laptop. I am able to log in and play on the server I am hosting, however, when my sister enters the IP it says cannot reach server. Any suggestions?
You must not have or else it would work. Make sure it is your public ip address you are connecting to and your private ip your port forwarding.
Yes I am on windows. The Ip for my Server is my IP and it is port forwarded. It allows me to log onto the server from the computer I am hosting from but when i try and log on from another computer it dosen't work. It allows other people from a different network or different house to log on though?
If it says "Cannot reach server" than you are typing the IP incorrectly. Try typing in the external ip.
If you're on the same network as the server and everyone outside can reach the server your sister could try the internal ip for the server if the external ip doesn't work.
