im Using a Airport Time capsule and I setup my port forward info and everything and every time I check to see if the port is open on the port check website and every time it says it's closed and I have tried countless things please tell me how to do this
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
1. Port check websites are wrong 9 times out of 10. They only work under strict set of conditions..
The only way to test is to see if it works.. if not you need to give us exact details of what you did and what ports you opened.
2. Check the IP is not via double NAT.. it will never work without public IP on the TC WAN port.
Same problem.. port forwarding for Minecraft won't work and never will because of double NAT.
3. Microsoft build their games for upnp.. some routers are on the list .. no apple router will ever be on the list because Apple uses NAT-PMP and the two are like VHS and Betamax.. apple therefore don't care if your games and consoles and PC and everything else in the world work or not.. they cannot manage to include upnp in the firmware.. whereas other manufacturers of routers do have both...
4. I highly recommend using the TC in bridge therefore and a standard.. compliant UPNP router in front of it.
the port number is 25565 and the private ip i put in is 10.0.1.xx (security concerns) so here is what i have hooked up 1 airport time capsule that is directly hooked up to the modem so its the Base then i have 2 airport express hooked through ethernet then there is 1 airport express that connects to one of the ethernet ones wirelessly (without ethernet) and how i setup my port forwarding i went to Airport Utility>Clicked time capsule>Clicked edit>Clicked network>clicked the plus button on port settings>in my description i put Minecraft my firewall entry was IPV4 and both public UDP and TCP ports where set to 25565 and the private UDP TCP ones where set to 25565 and i set my private ip to the ip of the computer that was hosting the server which was 10.0.1.xx
and it still docent do anything
I've confirmed and opened my port i was using the wrong ip i was giving them my private ip not the external
