Windows 10: Port 25565 still not forwarded

I have gone through absolutely everything I can find. I've allowed firewall access, I've double checked possible typos, and yet I still for the life of me figure out why port 25565 is not open. I've been trying to get a MC server going for hours at this point and now considering giving up. Yes the server runs, no there are no typos, yes it is the correct internal IP, yes it is the correct port, yes I am connected to the internet, and yes I've allowed the port through the firewall with both TCP and UDP. Every single forum and discussion I've found so far ended with the user making a typo or no

Help Port forwarding Will not work

Ok so I talked to arris and they said my modem was unable to be bridged I am wondering I that is the issue.

Also I don't know if this helps but this is the error I get when trying to load into the server on a different WIFI.

Ok so I checked my external address with the 25565 port on a port checker which it said it was open but my server ip address with 25565 was not open so I asked my friend if he could join the server with my external address and he could!! I don't know why its working now maybe because I got rid of the port forwarding rule and ip reservation and then put it back but I did that before and it did nothing.

 

port 25565 is open on my external ip but not on internal ip

I setup a inbound and outbound rule for port 25565 and it still won't work.

 

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 What's My IP Address? Networking Tools & More

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
