I'm having a big problem getting my port forwarding to work in my Asus RT-AC68U router.

I have a router from my internet provider which is in bridgemode and after that my own Asus RT-AC68U router which has the WAN ip and is also 10.0.0.1 on LAN side.

I would like to setup a Minecraft server on port 19132, and have setup the port forwarding like this in my router https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2micG34zJpLZTEzRi1vN0JxaGc/view?usp=sharing but nothing works.

I have tried to turn off the firewall in my router and the windows frewall.

Anyone have an idea ?

Have you forwarded the correct ports for your Minecraft server?

Start the server, and run netstat -a from a command prompt to check which ports your server is listening on.

 

[Kim71]

I think a got something here, but it still confuse me.

I have a created two minecraft serveres. One for tablet/phones (pocket edition) and one for computers. One on port 19132 and one on 25565, both default ports.

The one on port 25565 works just fine and I can connect to it.

The one on port 19132 I just can't connect to. I think somehow the portforward does not work, even though I have created two alike portforwards.

I can't see port 19132 in your netstat output. Is that the correct port?

 

[Kim71]

That is correct.

I can't see port 19132 either, and I guess it is because it is not forwarded. But how come, port 25565 is forwarded and not port 19132, when it is done the same way in my router.

 

[MitchConner]

In order for the port forward to work, you need to forward to a listening port. A port forward has no bearing on the output of the netstat, that just shows which ports your server is listening on.

 

[Kim71]

Ok, Thanks.

I did not know the port had to be listening first, before you could forward to it.

when I start my Minecraftservers it reads a server.properties file. In this file there is a line saying -

server-port=19132

When I change it to port 25565 it seems to be listening, but when I change it to port 19132, it does not seem to be listening.

 

[MitchConner]

No worries mate.

Can I ask why you need to forward two different ports for the application?

 

[Kim71]

It is two different type of minecraft servers.

Port 19132 is for tablet/phones - not working

Port 25565 is for desktop computers - working fine.

 

[MitchConner]

I had a sneaky feeling

I've taken a quick look at the wiki and it doesn't specifically say you can forward two different ports (it doesn't say you can't either).

I would use a port translation rule instead. In your forward rule, leave the port range as 19132 but change the local port to 25565.

 

[Kim71]

It is two different software applications, by two different developers. They have nothing to do with each other.

 

[MitchConner]

Ah ok. Well one of those minecraft servers is either not started, or not listening on the port you need. If they have two separate config files, you'll need to edit that to reflect the port you want to forward to.

 

[Kim71]

I only installed the Desktop server (port 25565) to see if the portforward did work. I guess that both portforward (25565 and 19132) is done correctly, since one of them work - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2micG34zJpLLUN5T3NWRW1IQVE/view?usp=sharing

I guess it has something with the software to do.

Could I use Netcat to test port 19132 or does it not have anything to do with my problem ?

 

[MitchConner]

The best thing you can do mate is to install the software and start it, then test your forwarding after verifying you are listening for the port.

 

[Kim71]

How do I verifying that the port is listening ? Can I do that with "netstat -a" and find port 19132 somewhere in the list ? and if it shows up, it is listening ?

 

[MitchConner]

Yep, that's it.

 

[Kim71]

Thanks

And if it does not show up, it must be something with the software not activating the port correctly ?

 

[GentleArrow]

Only load the PE server and not the regular MC server. See if it shows up then in netstat -a My thought is both apps are using the same memory space and maybe the regular MC is stomping on the PE version.

You have to get it working locally before forwarding will work.

 

[MitchConner]

Yep, if that happens check the documentation.

 

[Kim71]

Can anyone tell me if this is correct ?

Port 25565 says listening

Port 19132 says...nothing..or what ?
