Can't get forge 1.7.10 server public

[EJMF]

I've set up the forge server perfectly. Even put the assigned .bat file saying:

 

!/bin/bash

cd "$(dirname "$0")" exec java -Xmx500m -Xms500m -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1187-universal.jar

 

in the folder. yet, My friends can't connect. The heck!

 

[Geforce]

Does the server log record any errors? What happens when players try to connect?

[Draco18s]

Likely a firewall issue.

[EJMF]

Do you think? There's no recorded data when he tries to join. It fails from his end, but that must mean my ip isn't accessible, right?

 

[EJMF]

I port-forwarded and tried to use Hamachi- to no avail.

[EJMF]

For the port-forward, I made a TCP and a UDP port using port 25565. I placed my IPV4 adress in both the LAN area and external area for both ports. I saved it there.

 

[EJMF]

Many thanks, friend. Which port am I checking on this chart?

EDIT

Checked port 25565, said it wasn't open.

This is a screenshot of the setup for the TCP and UDP ports that i'm doing: http://prntscr.com/6loxll

Is it good?

[loordgek]

to wat ip are there trying to connect?

[EJMF]

they're using my public (external) ip

 

Where I can google "ip" and send it.

They've also tried my ipv4.

Is the port good?

 

[EJMF]

For both, right? If so, that's done. http://prntscr.com/6lqbk0

Port's still unseen, says the website.

[EJMF]

Presumably. My IP is set to my IPV4 in the .serverproperties, ports forwarded, what way do i need to set up my windows firewall?

[EJMF]

Oh! It sees my port open in the window.

[EJMF]

It works! Many thanks, friend. Have a good day.

[EJMF]

I have a new problem- the server is extremely laggy with players, and ends up duplicating players in a single spot, not showing them actually move, etc.

[EJMF]

it may or may not. Doesn't it have to due with something like allocating or dedicating more ram or java speed to the server with a command or something?

[EJMF]

I've got 4gigs of quality ram, and I don't know how to dedicate it to the server

[EJMF]

Where and how do I put the specific commands?

[EJMF]

So... the start.bat file?

[loordgek]

like so

java -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=128m -jar forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.985-universal.jar nogui
pause

[loordgek]

that is just a bat i have that i can modfiy
