[SOLVED] Opening port 25565

Jitse · 12-19-2015, 06:03 AM

Hello guys,
So I have a descent internet connection and a linux server at my home, but I am having a little bit of trouble with the opening of port 25565.

The port is opened correctly in the router (With TPC and UDP) and the server has a static ip address.

So there must be something wrong with the iptables is my guess.

A little bit of information:

Code:

root@jitse-server-pc:/# netstat -ln |fgrep 25565
tcp6       0      0 192.168.2.5:25565       :::*                    LISTEN
root@jitse-server-pc:/# nmap localhost -p 25565

Based on your subject heading, the answer is obvious: you 'open a port' by actually running a service that LISTENS on that port. Or do you mean opening it on a firewall? Router? Switch? Something else??

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature, and the LQ Rules, please.
