I followed a video tutorial on setting up my own server, and I'm pretty sure I did everything right. It even shows up in the server list. My friend can't seem to join my server though, but he says he can join every other server on the list. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I tried setting up a private server, but he was not able to join that either.

He gets the "server must be down" error
