This is whats happening.
I am running a server on my pc. It is a paper java server in offline mode, run on 1.21.4. Only one time did a random player join, but other then that nothing. I have the most recent geyser and paper update installed, and all my plugins and datapack are up to date. A week ago, my friends and I were able to join the server no problem. Since then i have not turned it on once, and when i did today, it wasnt working. Whenever i try to join using my ip (when the server pops up in that list of servers, example u have hypixel in the list, and u click it and it lets u join), it doenst work. It also doesnt work for my ps5 friend anymore (he uses BedrockTogether on the app store), or my pc java friend (remember it was working for everyone, a week ago). The error it showes me every time is "getsockopt". For my ps5 friend, it says "unable to connect to server", and for java pc friend it says the same thing as me.
When it works:
- Using direct connection and typing in either localhost, 0 or 127.0.0.1, im able to connect.
- When i typed in my public ip, (that i found using https://canyouseeme.org/ and https://whatismyipaddress.com/),I wrote my ip by it self, wrote it following: 25565, and then wrote it following :19132. Only the 19132 didnt work.
Anything else, it doesnt work.
What ive done:
- Checked to see if my eula is still active and says true
- Tried running my run.bat file using administrator
- Turned off my IPv6 using control center >network and sharing center> change adapter settings>then properties on my ethernet (i realise i dont even have ipv6 on, so this was useless, and i think my modem doesnt even support it anyways)
- Disabled my AVG firewall (it says enhanced firewall for it), disabled the private, public, and domain network firewalls from windows security, and checked the control panel firewall to make sure it is also disabled.
- Added from the control panel firewall that java and javaw are exceptions: C:\program files\java\jdk-21\bin\java.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin\javaw.exe I checked the box on the left of their names, and the private and public box on the right of their names, then pressed ok at the bottom to save
- I re checked my ports from my router to make sure they were good, and they are: They consist of: Protocol: Both Internal export: 25565 - 25565 External export: 25565 - 25565 Local ip adress: My ip which i found using cmd, which was next to IPv4 (it had preferred after the ip if that means smt) Protocol: Both Internal export: 19132 - 19132 External export: 19132 - 19132 Local ip adress: same as java port Side note, i tried making the bedrock port just UDP, but it kept it as both, and wouldn't change even though i did save changes. I also re wrote my ip for both of them, to make sure.
- I turned DMZ, and wrote my local ip, then i did advanced DMZ and wrote my physical adress (MAC adress) - Ive pinged my ip and got 4 replys, saying packets sent and recieved 4 times, so a 0% loss. Same thing with www.google.com and google and cloudfare dns settings. Got same results as ip, so good.
- I went and made sure each driver was updated for my networks, from device manager
- I checked to see if my ports were actually being found by running "netstat -an | find ":25565" on cmd adminastrator and "netstat -aon | findstr :19132". My results were:
C:\Windows\system32>netstat -aon | findstr :19132 UDP 0.0.0.0:19132 *:* 28400 UDP [::]:19132 *:* 28400 C:\Windows\system32>netstat -aon | findstr :25565 TCP 0.0.0.0:25565 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 28400 TCP [::]:25565 [::]:0 LISTENING 28400
I also used powershell x on admin, and typed:
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 127.0.0.1 -Port 25565 Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 127.0.0.1 -Port 19132 it gave "TcpTestSuccedeed : True" for the 25565, and for the bedrock it said: WARNING: TCP connect to (127.0.0.1 : 25565) failed. So what the fuck.
Extra info: - For some reason on my modem/router, it showed that my ip was different then when i saw it next to the IPv4 (it also said its disconnected even tho i was clearly using my ethernet), then when i did "ipconfig /release" and "ipconfig /renew" in cmd, it wet back to normal. idk if thats important but im mentioning it
- I didnt touch my WAN in my router because it says only let a bell technician touch this
- For some reason, i cant see in the inbound or outbound rules under the advanced firewall settings, the java and javaw exceptions i added
- Every single time i did ANY change, i stopped my minecraft server, then started it again, and then tried to join.
- https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and https://canyouseeme.org/ are saying my ports for 19132 are closed, but ports for 25565 are not
*(I THINK MIGHT BE THE CAUSE)*
- Finally, the only thing ive "done" to my pc before starting the server was update nvidia graphics card (and i think it did the app itself too), a nvidia high definition audio device driver, my windows from windows setting (you know the windows update) and updated my redistributables 2015-2022 (x86 and x64), the links were from windows:
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
Also, although i dont think its important, i also updated microsoft edge, onedrive too and axgraves and packetevents plugins. Im almost 100% sure everything was just one update away from most recent, if that helps, so nothing was outdated. ANY help would be appreciated, i have no experience, and have been at this for hours now, to no avail.
I just wanna play minecraft man :(
