C6250EMR port forwarding - limit on Internal IP address

Hey, 

 

I am a novice trying to set up a Minecrafter server for my kid. 

I tried to set up port forwarding on 25565 port but the internal IP address specifying the service device is locked so I can only edit the last digi section out of the four standard sections. 

This means that I cannot enter the proper target internal IP address. 

Any clues ? 

 

thanks

    Hi UKH, does it show on that same page a table of connected devices where you can choose from?

    There is a manual for the C6250 somewhere at the end of this link:

    If you need more help, you might get better and quicker replies, and find other answers, over in the appropriate section for your device:

    Cable Modems & Routers

    No need to repost there, unless you want to – that will just clutter up the place with duplicated messages – but you might find advice related to your hardware.

         Is that modem+router the only piece of routery equipment which is
      involved here?

         No, you omitted practically all the interesting facts.

         That should be the only part of that address ("octet") which you
      should need to change.

         What is the (LAN) IP address of the system where the Minecraft server
      would be running?


         What do you believe is "the proper target internal IP address" which
      you want to specify in your port-forwarding rule?

       

         As usual, reporting the actual data involved (like actual IP
      addresses) would be more helpful than your analysis of the problem
      ("cannot enter the proper target internal IP address").
