I've been trying to set up a server for me and a friend to use but it just doesnt work.
I have a netgear router and correctly port forwarded, still, if i go to yougetsignal.com it says the port 25565 is closed, even with the server running.
I even re-installed the server, downloaded it, serverstart.bat (at the end of the process the black window tells me topress a key and just closes, the server doesnt open), open ftbserver.jar (it lags a lot) but nothing.
Saw the latest/most viewed tutorial on youtube and these were the differences between him and me:
1) when the batch file was done loading stuff I tried to check if the localhost was online like he did: "can't connect to server", then tells me "press a key to continue" and closes when I do.
2) The ServerStart bat code (seen with right click-Edit) is different
3) No banned players and ips, no denpipes/forgemodloader/logisticpipes files, no ops, no serverlogs, NO SERVER PROPERTIES, no white list files
4) there's no World folder in the directory (I have a "asm" and a "blueprint" though)
5) I reopened the serverstart batch file a 2nd time but still cant connect to the server.
If instead I try to open the jar file it starts but it lags like CRAZY, like I cant even scroll down in the list of stuff he loaded, and I still cant connect to my localhost.
God damn I'm studying comp science and cant figure out this stuff, they did a sh*t job with the servers setup.
Please someone help me, I just want to play minecraft with a friend.
