After not being able to connect to my own server I looked at the log a little more and saw:

Starting Minecraft server on *:25565
where there is an astrick instead of my IP
how do i fix this?

Hi Briland

the asterisk is just meaning local ip have you tryed connecting to the local ip of your server? which will be something like 192.168.xxx.xxx e.g. my server is on my laptop wich i cannect through LAN to but anyone else must connnect via internet otherwise it dont work. what do you do to connect to your server?

I'll try my local IP but that

I'll try my local IP but that means while I connect to my local IP everyone else connects to my router IP?

Edit: connecting to my local IP worked, Thanks!
