whenever i try to port forward 2556 it doesnt work but when i use a different port it works.. i always go to yougetsignal.com to check if i did it right and any port besides 25565 works.. it says its closed on my ip. but i know i did it all correctly
If 25565 isn't working for some reason why not use another port?
open server.properties with notepad and then you can change the server stuff in there.
also the link is to the minecraftwiki page about server.properties
Get on portfoward.com and select your router and select Minecraft. I hope this helps.
