minecraft server port forwarding help

[banker]

I have the TC8717 router that came with my mediacom 100mbps wifi, i'm wondering how to set up port forwarding with this router. I have the device forwarding as my pc, application start.bat protocols TCP/UDP start port 25565 end port 25565 and target port 80

I'm no expert on port forwarding but if you are looking to set up a world with your friends I used to use this

From what I can gather it is a cheap pile junk modem/router that is sold to ISP for pennies the dollar and then they make a good profit leasing it.
The router has almost no configuration to it as it is deisgned so grandma can be on facebook in a few minutes.

If you want to game and run servers then you need a real router with half decent capabilities.
Best recommandation for under $100 router is the Asus TM-AC1900. Its a t-mobile braded version of the $155 ASUS AC68U, a very good router
Otherwise an ASUS RT-N53 or hell even an RT-N12 D1 would be a better router then the junk the ISP gets the suckers to lease from them

Also, are you sure your minecraft server is using port 80?
Should have both local and remote ports to the 25565

portforwarding.com does not have a guide for that model of modem/router so I cant give you a screenshot, nor can I even verify that the router has the ability to port forward. And I cetainly cant make any claims that it can handle the traffic well at all.

Thus all i can do is explain the requirements of port forwarding:
You need a remote port (can also he called incoming port) or a range of them: this is the port(s) that others will be using on the internet.
You need a local port: this the port the computer running the "server" software is expecting traffic on
You neee the IP address of that computer, and you need to have it static (otherwise the router could assign it a different IP latter).
You also need to make sure to add a rule to your firewall to allow the program and/or the port traffic through.

The other reason why I wanted to find a guid on your router is because some routers want you to put both values for start and end if it is just one port number, and some ONLY want you to put it in the start field because if hte end field is the same it does not work.
