I make a local server, and I try to access it with my other computer. Both are latest minetest versions.
When I use computer 1 as a server, computer 2 is stuck eternally. It works the same way with computer 2 as the server.
What's up with this?
EDIT: I also can't connect to anybody else's server.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

You might need to allow ports 30000 - 30005 on your firewall and make sure you are using the latest dev version of minetest.
What operating system are you using?

the latest version is 0.4.3, right?
ports are allowed on comp2, and comp1's firewall is off.
windows.

comp1(the one with the firewall off) is a computer I only use for minetest.
I only allowed 30000-30005 on comp2/comp1.

It works if I connect to the LAN IP(192.168, etc.) but not through the WAN IP, and nobody else can connect either.
Can someone please help me here?

I have this same problem, no one can connect to my server even after port forwarding! I can connect through LAN.
