WNR3500L v2 25565 port closed
Good evening whichever human being stumbleing across my post.
I have recently been digging deep in making a minecraft server.
Although i can join and i have set up my port forward, my friend cant join the server.
When i go on websites to check that my port is open it says closed.
I have checked multiple times that the right IP address is being used, i have made rules in my firewall too.
My friend can see the server loading, and after that he disconnects.
We have tried multiple IP addresses, but none of which makes him join.
If you need any pictures just ask, i will kindly hand them to you.

How, exactly? Using which IP address? The server's LAN IP address
("192.168.1.150"), or the router's WAN/Internet IP address? And what is
the router's WAN/Internet IP address?)> [...] my friend cant join the server.
Actual error message? Which IP address is _he_ using?

It's nice that you're happy, but it would be more helpful to reveal
what you believe is "the right IP address". If you're worried about
revealing secrets, then the top half of an address, "a.b" out of
"a.b.c.d", would satisfy most of my curiosity.> My friend can see the server loading, and after that he disconnects.
I don't know what "see the server loading" means. Again, an actual
error message might be more helpful.> We have tried multiple IP addresses, [...]
Again, with my weak psychic powers, I can't see what you "tried" (or
how you "tried" it/them).> If you need any pictures [...]
Words should be fine.
For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:
I can join using my LAN IP address.
The reason i can't join with my WAN ip address is because the port 25565 is closed.
And i have made both inbound and outbound rules in my firewall.
The routers IP and WAN is the following: Default gateway:192.168.1.1 and IPv4:192.168.1.150
WAN could also be 109.56.132.21. Don't really know what to look for.
I have recently reset my router to default settings.
My friend has tried different IP addresses but the one which works the best is 109.56.xxx.xxx
The IP i know is right is for my port forwarding, i use my computers Internal IP address.(192.168.)
We tried to connect with different IP addresses to see which one would let us join the server, but all of them failed.
Is there something i'm doing wrong with my port forwarding or is there something blocking my bound rules in my firewall?
> Firmware version? Connected to what?
Still wondering.
> I can join using my LAN IP address.
"join" from where? What is "my LAN IP address"? The _server's_ LAN
IP address? "192.168.1.150"? Something else?

reason" is. The question/test was:> If that works, then, still from a system on your LAN, try using the

Did you try that? What happened?> WAN could also be [...]
"could be"?

external/public IP address to work?> Is there something i'm doing wrong with my port forwarding or is there

If you answered the questions, then I might be able to tell. Your
port-forwarding rule looked ok. (If your server's at "192.168.1.150".)> [...] Don't really know what to look for.
