dedicated server not responding

When i create a dedicated server, no one is able to join not even myself. I've tried turning off the firewall. It only works if i host and game on the same machine but only for myself, i've tried on other machines and other windows OSes as well and it still does not respond, trying different worlds. If i create a game through SE instead everyone can join fine.

 

Have you verified that Port forwarding is turned on and setup properly on your router?

 

I am having the same issue. Ports are forwarded, ip address is set right, directly connecting is not working at all.

Edit: I think I fixed it by following this advice by BlueFangServers .

I had to open port# 27506 In my router. (Already had 27516) I had also disabled my firewall all together.

I'll temporarily disabled and reenable things tomorrow to confirm what specifically did it. But it worked so that's all I care about at the moment.

 

i got it working, before update it was because of spaces in dedicated server path, it said running when infact it had crashed so i thought the problem was on network/OS. Port forwarding totally fine as you could say im a wizard in enterprise networking, and i have the hardware as well.

Direct connect worked before update. I have no issues now though with the server and its visible (no reverse NAT on router so i couldnt see while on the same network as server).
