Question Port Connection Timed Out

[Meisa]

Problem! I could not see your service on xx.xxx.xxx.xxx on port (25565).
Reason: Connection timed out.

How do I fix this?

I have a TP-Link router

Are you the client or are you attempting to host the server ?

Hosting the server

 

[kanewolf]

Do you have TCP and UDP port forwarding rules setup in the router ?
Have you verified the functioning of the server on the LAN?
Do you have a static IP address on the PC hosting the server?

Yes to all

Have you verified that the "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in your original post matches the WAN address on your TP Link router?

 

[Meisa]

"xx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is my public ip address, and im not sure where to find the WAN address

If you don't know where to find the WAN address on your router, then you can't be sure that "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is your public IP address. You could have an ISP double NAT situation or something happening. You need to validate the WAN address of the TP Link.

I checked on several websites and they all show the same public/WAN ip

Also I've searched all my router setting and none show the WAN IP

What model is the router ?
