Problem Hosting Problem

[Derbstep]

I recently purchased a new router and ever since I have not been able to host the FTB Server that me and some friends played on.

I've been searching all day about how to fix this and this is just my last effort because I'm stumped..

It allows me to connect using localhost/127.0.0.1, but when I try to use my external IP it doesn't detect the server:

Don't know if this is applicable but when I refresh the server select page I get this in my console:

2013-12-08 22:29:31 [INFO] [Minecraft-Server] /192.168.1.1:54696 lost connection

I have port forwarded my router:

Set inbound rules to Windows Firewall:

and this is my server.properties:

#Minecraft server properties

Tried to be as descriptive as possible .

If it is locally hosted then connect with localhost not the external ip, I'm fairly certain you can't connect with the ip to a local thing. 127.0.0.1 or localhost should work fine. Everyone else not connecting on the local machine needs to use the external ip though.

First Connor, 127.0.0.1 and localhost are the same thing. Second, you need to make sure you have set a static IP in your router, because if your IP is dynamic, everytime you reconnect to your router, your IP changes and so your port forwarding doesn't find your IP. Otherwise, I am not sure, something is setup wrong in your router or firewall settings.

"127.0.0.1 or localhost" means they are the same thing and either work, just in case you missed that.

After googling for a few hours and testing a few things on my own server I do believe you can Not connect to your ip when the thing you are connecting to. Is locally hosted, use 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

Ex MySQL hosted on your computer, you don't use 85.86.468.97 to connect you use localhost.

You will still be able to connect to the server on other computers as long as the port 25565 is open/forwarded.
