    Need help, port forwarding not working


    So I have been trying to create a game server for a couple of months and I still haven't been able to create one.
    I'm having a problem with port forwarding. I really don't know what to do any more. I even made my own server in C# but that doesn't work either.

    I didn't have any problems on windows 7 but then I had to move on to windows 10. At first, everything was working but after 1 update I think it all broke. I did port forward correctly on my router so it is not because of it At least I think. I even reinstalled 5 times whole windows but that didn't work either. I did try to allow ports in firewall but that didn't help either. I also bought a laptop but I have the same issue with it.

    I have Windows 10 Pro. Is it may be possible to have a bad motherboard or something? Both my pc and my laptop are for gaming and I build my pc my self. Please help, don't know what to do.

    :)

    Help with port forwarding!

    Just for clarification: Port forwarding takes a packet that is addressed to your external (public) IP address and forwards if to an internal (private) IP address


    First step:

    Go to http://whatsmyip.org/

    Your External (public) IP address will be shown at the top of the page.

    This is the IP address that other users on the internet will use to connect to you.

    Second step:

    Find your Internal (private) IP address.

    This is the IP address of the Ethernet card in your PC

    This IP address MUST be in one of the following ranges to be guarenteed to work:

    10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
    172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
    192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

    Third step:

    Open up the admin application for your router and look for port forwarding/private servers option.

    The screen will have a source port number (tcp and udp) and will also have a destination IP address and port.

    Example:

    Your PC has a private IP of 192.168.0.2 and your run a game server that uses ports 2345 and 8977

    In admin screen source ports will be 2345 and 8977 (an entry for each port will be needed)

    Destination will be 192.168.0.2 port 2345 and 192.168.0.2 port 8977

    You dont say what the router is so we dont have a clue and you dont say why or for what you are port forwarding.
    The best way is goto Guides for Port Forwarding a Router find your router and it will give you step by step instuctions on how to do it

    How to configure Port Forwarding?


    HI,

    My router gets different IP addresses. Dynamic DNS is enabled.

    I have to configure port forwarding in my router. While configuring port forwarding, I need to fill following details:

    • Internal IP
    • Internal Port
    • Remote IP
    • External Port
    • Protocol (TCP/UDP)

    Please guide me to configure Port Forwarding in my router.

    Regards
