I have been working on setting up a Minecraft server for a couple of days now, and I cannot find a way to get my friends outside of my network to connect. I know I gave them the right IP address, and I have tried several solutions with no luck. I can, however, connect to the server from other computers connected to the same router, but I think that only works when I have it set to "cracked" mode.
I tried disabling my firewall on both my host computer and my router, using a different computer as the server host, and changing the port. All solutions I have tried gave the same message to my friends: "Cannot reach server", when I was able to connect just fine.
Here is some possibly useful information:
