    Recently, my friend made a minecraft server and my friends and him can all connect. Unfortunately, I cannot :(. If anyone has a fix for this or any tips, it would be much appreciated :). Also, I know I got the ip correct!

    Check IP, again.
    Make sure Server is up.

    Are you all in same country?

    Make sure your firewall is not blocking outward communications, I fixed that and my friend's server worked instantly.

    Hmm, is it hosted by them, or a site?

    Ok, I have first hand experience and (s)he must port forward. Go to portforward.com and look for your router and stuff then do what it says. I've done it myself so if you have any queries send me a PM.

    Swim, try this;
    Answer this;


    It has to be port forwarded if the other people can get on, unless they are in the same house or something.

    I figured it out, I had to enter these DNS servers in Networking :). Taylor1211 can you lock this?
