I've tried countless sites for instructions on port forwarding and it seems like Ive tried them all with no luck. The majority of these sites send you to http://portforward.com/ and tell you to simply follow the instructions on there. I have done this at least 3 times now and cant see where I'm going wrong.
With the instructions from portforward.com I set this up..
But when I go to http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to check to see if the port im trying to forward is open It continues to tell me its still closed.
I was also instructed to create a static i.p. by going to "properties" in my "local area connection" and inputing my own data, I finally ended up with this.
The site explained that if my internet continues to work after making these changes within the local area connection "properties," then it should be successful because apparantly if I entered any incorrect data my internet explorer wouldnt be working.
So now im at a loss because I apparantly set my i.p to static and port forwarded port 25565 within my modem but http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ still says that port 25565 is closed.
I'm trying to run my own private server and require this port to be open to achieve this, any ideas anyone?
My modem model is a DSL 2640R if it helps.
