But I all ready port forwarded!

I port forwarded my server last month and it has been working all the time until yesterday. My batch file keeps saying the port is not forwarded but when i check the default gateway, the port is still with the ip. There was a thunderstorm at my place so that may be the cause but what do i do to fix my problem?! Please help.

 

What do you mean your batch file keeps saying the port is not forwarded?

 

the run.bat file says it cannot bind to port

 

That doesn't mean it isn't forwarded, but rather some other program is running on the port. Try restarting the hardware or closing any "java*" processes.

 

what hardware? the computer? also, i am not running any java software only the web and the folder with my server files and the run.bat file.

 

Yeah, the computer. And are you sure about the java stuff? Did you open up Task Manager and go to the Processes tab and end everything with "java" in it?

 

i just restarted the computer and there are no java applications running and the run.bat is still not binding to the port. Now what?

 

Don't set a server-ip in server.properties

 

but then only i can join the server. the point is i portforwarded the server and it was working before but today it isnt

also aparently minecraft launcher wont run for me. is it the java version?

CMD>ipconfig>IPV4 (im sure u knew that) make sure its the same as the forwarded one my internal ip changed every once in a while.

 

No, that's not true.

You should NEVER change server-ip unless you know what you're doing, this only needs to be changed in rare circumstances (i.e. if you have multiple IPs pointing at the computer you're hosting minecraft from)

 

but putting no ip in the properties will make it localhost

 

No it will not, do you understand how the server.properties file works?

The server-ip line should read:

Code:

server-ip=

with nothing after the equals sign.

 

thank you i just noticed how my ip changed! i never thought that could happen! ill try running the server now!
