So I'm using a Linksys E1200 router, and seriously I have done absolutely everything possible in my router settings, I have the newest firmware, and literally there is nothing else I can think to do. I don't have a double "router" setup going either cause my model from Comcast is just a single modem system and not a router/modem combo. Hence why I have a wireless router. I cannot find any possible solution to this problem. I have done everything, turned off firewalls, and made the port "25565" open for "both" start-stop and enabled it. I have gone into my "white list" and added people I want to play with and have also added myself to the ops list. Still nothing. Like I can connect to it and I know it runs but everytime I send people my "what is my ip/ my public IP address" no one can see to even find it. I am completely LOST. Does anyone else have or know any problems with Linksys routers? I cannot figure this out. I am so beyond frustrated. All I want to do is allow 2 friends to join in with me and this is the only way I'm willing to server host.
Seriously thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this post and reply to it. Again, everything has been done completely right. I just cannot seem to get people the right "IP address" or something. I literally cannot tell what is wrong. The server port is "open" I know it is because I've done the "start" 25565- "stop" 25565, have the "both" setting selected, and also have the check box "enable" checked. So what other possible solution could there be?
