Yes, I am impatient... I wanted to play with you all once again
Sorry, internet went out over the weekend, it was horrible, ok so the server should be working fine now.
Sadly - not working for me... neither 99.xx.xx.xx nor 162.xx.xx.xx
Really? Where should I go to find the IP then.
Duh... Ok... let's start by finding your local ip pool... assuming you have two computers connected to the router:
linux - open terminal and type
ifconfig; if you're using wired connection with your router look at entry named
eth0... if wireless:
wlan0windows - open
command console and type ipconfig; if you're using wired connection with your router look at entry named
Ethernet adapter... if wireless:
Wireless LAN adapterNote down both IP addresses. If they follow the pattern 162.198.1.XXX that means it is your private IP address pool - we don't have any use of it... at all.
Now... to find your public IP address you can dig through your router/modem settings to have the definite answer (yes, it is listed somewhere there)...
Or you can use websites like whatismyip.com ip-lookup.net
If it shows something like 99.177.172.185 then this is the address you want people to use. And if we cannot connect then it means that either you have wrong port forwarding (if you are not sure about that and want my help PM me with your router model) or minecraft server is badly configured... or both
On the miecraft server config - if you are indeed using port forwarding and thus you are behind NAT, your server.properties file should either have empty server-ip value or your private IP address. If you are not behind NAT -enter your public IP.
Apart from that, some firewall could block the connection.... as your server is on ubuntu, default firewall is
sfw (
simple firewall). To see if it is enabled, open terminal and type
sudo ufw status. If it is enabled, make sure there is an entry allowing connections through the minecraft server port (default 25565 - if you changed it, then we need to know it to be able to connect). If there is no such entry add it by typing
sudo ufw allow (port number) (ex.
sudo ufw allow 25565).
If you don't have any firewall then it couldh be some config in your netework options... though I highly doubt it and also it would cover another 100-word post by itself...
