My friends can't connect to my Minecraft server

Look in the rest of the tabs (not the sub-tabs), and post screenshots of those. I will see what I can find from there.

If you want help faster, you can find me a way to access the browser utility myself, but I don't want to feel like a stalking bastard or anything. Here are the steps to do so:

1. You might find an option saying something like "Enable Remote Access" or something like that.
2. Send me anything I need to access it, and I will set up the ports for you, and also tell you how to do it yourself in the future.
3. Don't give me access to anything that doesn't strictly belong to you, though.
4. I recommend not doing this, period, for security purposes.

Ok, I see.
Go to "Content Filtering > Services" and screenshot that. I think that is where you can set Port Forwarding.

and if I hit add custom service it gives


that

Ok, so put "Minecraft Server" as the name, and put "25565" in both port entries, then hit "Apply", and see what that does. Test the connection between your friends and your server.

I'm new to this thing, and I have the same problem. I'm glad you figured it out. But I still can't. I have no idea what your talking about. I'm really sorry to bother you. Can you please help me?

didnt let me put that many digits for the name will that effect it?

Just make sure you can recognize what it is. The name should not affect the service, I think...
What model is your router?

First of all, what are you stuck on?

I did everything and my port is still not open I am going to call my net service to see if they have to open it on their end

I don't know if you are still looking in to this but I have a problem like the one you had in the beggining. I have a TP-Link router and I have forwarded port 25565 on my router for my internal IP and I can connect to my server, but no one else can (same thing happened when I used hamachi). I don't know exactly what is the problem and I'm not sure what ip should I be givving to the server itself and what should I give to my friends to connect to.

Wait...how many digits did it let you put in?

You need to connect local computers (ones connected directly to the router without going through the internet) to your internal IP address, and people connecting through the internet should connect to the external IP. Also, if there are fields for "Internal port" and "external port", you need to put the same number in both fields, unless your server runs on a different port than the port non-local computers connect to.

Oh, and by the way, you don't need to mess with "server-ip=" in server.properties. That is, unless you have problems connecting to it from anywhere. Just leave it blank

I have done everything as you've said and I have forwarded the internal and external port as 25565. I have also removed the ip from server.properties. But neither the local computers nor my friends can connect to the server it still says the ussual Can't reach server.
I can connect to it though using my internal ip.

Your internal IP may have changed. Check it again, and change the port forwarding accordingly. You will also need to change the IP local computers connect to.
Oh, I didn't see the last part.

You need to connect to your internal IP, but your friends need to connect to the external IP.
By the way, what is your router model? Is it Cisco brand?

I'll refer you to this new tutorial

They tried to connect to both internal and external ip and it still doesn't work and my router is TP-Link.

I've read your tutorial and checked if the ports are forwarded. They are, it did say FAILED and my status was green.
