Other People can't Connect to My Server
I have Windows 8 and I have the official version of minecraft. I recently made a Minecraft server and port forwarded it using Hamachi. It worked fine, but I wanted to port forward it without Hamachi, using my router's website I am aware of how port forwarding is done, the method works for other people. However. I found my ip4 adress in the cmd wingow by tiping "ipconfig", and tiped this ip into my servers properties. I used this to join my server and it worked, however my friends can't connect to it.

So the 192.168.x.xxx address is your local address, so only people that are connected to your network can join. You need to use your external IP. This can be found by asking Google What's my IP. Put the IP that comes up in your properties file and give that address to everybody, and then it should work!
Actually, leave the Server IP blank in your properties and then you should be able to join through your external IP!

I Cannot Connect to the Server. This problem can be caused by network and server configuration issues. Alternatively, the problem can be caused by the client and server being logged on to different domains. When a Windows server is added to a domain, ping is blocked by default.LP - Other People (Official Video)
