I just made a port forwarded server, it runs fine for me. I can connect and play, but when my friends try to join it won't let them in. I went on my brothers computer and entered in the LAN ip address and it worked. But my friends on a different network can't connect. Please help me

Vanilla? Craftbukkit? if they get connection reset, it may be because of outdated bukkit, vanilla or tekkit version, depends which your using.
Hello,
Try setting the port to a diffrent number such a 25575.
-Hope it helps, if not just tell me.
-S1lver.

Bump. If anyone feels like helping me the server ip is 67.5.245.43:25565
I have this EXACT problem... I suppose it is a more common issue than I expected.
Please compare and contrast the differences between our situations and post them in my thread where I have listed them.

ALSO!!! Your friends have to be on the same network as you. A network in most cases is limited to a single access point like your WiFi router or mcdonald's free WiFi connection. If you connect two computers to each other with an Ethernet cable, and some know-how, your devices can interact just like you would with someone over the internet, but without implementing your ISP.
Don't give up hope yet. You can still form a LAN without the same access point, after all you are both on the internet, but your ISP can watch the connection.
What you have to do is set up and externally host a VPN from your computer. What this means is you basically make a hole in your firewalls that prevent people from interacting with your machine's data. In this case you are cutting a direct path to a VPN you have on your computer and are connected to.
If hosted right, others will be able to access your VPN but not the other data on your machine. Windows' native networking tools offer the ability to do all of this for every edition. You may have to fiddle with your routers ports and windows firewall, but it can be done, though this is not the quickest way to externally host a VPN. There are VPN client/host programs out there to make this process easier, but they are limited by factors other than your ISP's bandwidth allowance. An example would be Hamachi-Link me in.
