I have enclosed the screen shots of my router. So that someone with the mind for this sort of thing can help me. I can not get my server to list in the minetest server list. And I ran it for one entire night.

I have asked people in other areas to connect with one idea after another. They just sit on "connecting to server" Sometimes for hours.

Please run this one by me as though I have no idea what to do. I mean one step after another. And please do it soon. Its driving me crazy!

I even set up an account on an online server and transfered the world files there. But with no idea how to tell minetest to go there and run the game from there to go around my router. I am still stuck.

  • Does your server itself have it's own firewall?
  • Are you giving the correct public IP? Get it from whatismyip. They sometimes change.
  • Is it forwarded to the correct internal IP? They sometimes change if you use DHCP.

To answer the questions.
1. My server does not have a firewall. I hit unblock when it asked too. And I made 30000 A port exception.
2. I am giving the correct IP it never changes. Its on a lease untill 2014
3. I believe its forwarding to the correct inter IP i use my public IP in the appropriate box.

I even went to GEEK SQUAD at Best buy. And they refused to help. Stating that if I screwed up my router they could be responsable. The router help says to consult the forums to any game. They are not sure.
