Anyone know how to portforward a minecraft server?

bedrok, the router password is usually the one you set for connecting to it (if it's wireless). Otherwise, try admin, the license key, or even just leaving it blank.

My own synopsis of port forwarding:

RogueEasiest way to do this (port forwarding), hit the start menu, and search for "CMD" (terminal for linux, I'm assuming you know this. If you need a bit of help on this stage in linux, go to "Your IP, and which ones to use"). In that, you type "ipconfig", and find these two lines:

IPv4 Address: . . . . . . . . . 192.168.2.7
Default Gateway: . . . . . . . . 192.168.2.1

The numbers will be different, but keep track of them. You will access your router using the "default gateway" address in your browser, and try searching on the internet for your router model's default password (or, take a chance at one you normally use). From there, find something that has words along the lines "Port forwarding", and you fill in the feilds with the following information:

port 25565
port 25565
TCP/UDP
IPv4 address (192.168.2.7, in our example)

That would essentially be all you have to do to port forward. Keep in mind if your router also has a firewall, this also needs to allow through port 25565, or be disabled in general.

Your ip's, and which ones to use:

RogueThere are three different types. These are local, external, and loopback.

Loopback is like "127.0.0.1" or "localhost", which will connect to a server located directly on your computer. This is the same on all computers

Local (a.k.a. IPv4) is a server within your own household on a different computer, usually begins with either "192.168" or "10.0". This can be found in your terminal/command line usually using the "ipconfig" command (or "ifconfig" on a Linux OS).

External is anything outside of your home, and can be a large variety of IP addresses. If it is hosted within your household, many routers will have issue with you connecting to this. This can be found at http://whatsmyip.org

You will want to have other people use the external, while you will being using either your local or loopback

Don't forget to make any exceptions on your firewall(s) for both port 25565 and java connections.

Try "admin" for the username, and your wifi password for the password. It worked for me. But if a different password was set, then you're going to have to ask either your parents, or the person who set up the router for the username and password.

thegameguy11, when i type admin with no password it still asks for password

thegameguy311, thats only for 1 kind theres differt ways for differnt roters

1: In your browser, type 192.168.1.1 (if that opens something asking for a password, skip steps 2 and 3)
2: Open CMD
3: Find you default gateway and type that in the browser
4: If your wifi has no password, type admin in the username and leave the password blank, otherwise, type the password you use to access wifi into password
5: Find the single port forwarding section
6: Make it look like this, but with your ip information:

7: Press save and you're done! You have successfully port forwarded for a minecraft server!

Sorry,
You need a roter for it....
If you don't thats were people use Hamachi
But the players need Hamachi to join your server.
