Posted June 6, 20169 yr Hi, I've got a small question: Why am I getting the error: FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! After this error shows up the server direclty closes. What I am now wondering about this is: No program and service is using the port 25565 Using the IP from Hamachi everything works fine, but using the IPv4 from http://www.wieistmeineip.de/ results in the error So why does the IPv4 from http://www.wieistmeineip.de/ results in such an error? Thx in advance. Bektor Developer of Primeval Forest.

Well, my friend told me it has to be the one from the router and not the one from the actual computer. And port forwarding is also active. And when using the intern PC IP my friend tells me he can't join. So the IP from the actual computer isn't working. Developer of Primeval Forest.
June 7, 20169 yr On the line "server-ip" you should put your local ip. To get it, open the cmd and enter "ipconfig". it's the line IPv4 adress. anybody connected to your router should use this ip to connect to your server. Others should use your public ip (the ip in http://www.wieistmeineip.de/). You also need to open the port 25565 (TCP) in the setting of your router/modem.
