I've been having this issue with port forwarding. Yes, I know, you see these every single day. I've went through tutorials, and for some reason my router wasn't letting me port forward. The weird thing is that I used to have 25565 port opened on my router a long time ago when I hosted a server. Now, about 3 months later, the port isn't working. I used the plugin AutoPortForward to port forward the 25565 port, but it didn't work. So, I changed my query port to 25566 thinking it was the server port (on accident) and somehow 25566 is open. So, if you fell behind in that, my server-port in my server properties is set to 25565, while my query port is set to 25566, and 25566 is now open. This means I can connect to my server fine with (my ip):25566. From this, I am wondering if there is way to get 25565 open? I tried changing the query port to 25565 and the server port to 25566, which didn't work. I also tried setting both to 25565, which obviously hadn't worked. Any help is appreciated!
As @nbrandwine has said, that will helps us, also what ISP (Internet Service Provider) do you have? Comcast, TWC, etc?
hahaha thanks for taking that post in good humour I wish you good luck with it, I am not technically minded with port forwarding as you probably gathered here (for a local host).
