Port forwarding on a MIFI4510L
« on: June 29, 2012, 11:48:27 am »
Me and my friend play Minecraft together whenever we meet up (I have a server running on my LAN), but we don't meet up very often. I wanted to set up a Minecraft server online so we could play together at any time. So I set my Minecraft server to port 119 and tried to forward it through my MIFI device:

It's not working though. I don't know if I'm using the right port, or if I'm typing in the wrong IP address. I'm typing in the IP address my computer uses over the LAN. What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong, or will this just not work? Or maybe I'm just not able to connect to it because my computer is the one hosting it. If anyone could test it and prove me wrong/right, please do.

Well your IP is right at least.

SO should I just keep trying random ports until I get one that works?

Maybe your public IP is shared, in that case that won't work at all. That or Verizon is being a derp and blocks all incoming traffic to those common ports. Also something that would work is to try setting your computer as DMZ.

If it doesn't work, I would suggest Hamachi, thing I recommend only in such cases port forwarding doesn't work.

I tried looking up DMZ, and I'm not sure how that would work. And Hamachi costs.

Basically, DMZ forwards every port to the IP you chose. And I think Hamachi is free, AFAIK.
