   Firmware version?  Connected to what?

 

   For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:

    Thanks for the reply! The firmware version is V1.0.2.80 Im not sure what you mean by connected to what, but im connected to the router via etherent and the router is connected straight to the modem. And this is how I set up my port foward

      Quick update, I just tried fowarding port 22565 and started up my minecraft server and to my suprise the port said it was open. Although when I start my Valheim server and try to see if port 2456 is open it says it is closed. So I would asume this is a problem with the server and not my router?

         What, exactly, is your (unspecified) "the modem"?  Maker?  Model
      number?  Is it a simple modem, or a modem+router, or what?

         Deduce, not "assume"?  Did you try the local server tests suggested
      in that "usual problems" list?

        The modem I have is the Arris TM822A and my ISP is Optimum Online

         

        I have my port forwarding setup like this 

         

        Service Name - Valheim

        Protocol - TCP/UDP

        External/internal Port Range - 2456-2458

        Internal IP Address - 192.168.1.80

         

        Also I am able to join the server locally but my friends are not able to due to the port.
