Minecraft Server on Pi 3
Minecraft Server on Pi 3
Hi.
I've configured a Minecraft server on my Pi3 using nukkit. It works when accessing it via SSH through Putty, but I can't connect from my W10 laptop on the local network.
I've adjusted the server.properties with an IP and port, tried forwarding through the router, but it still fails with the error
"io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information".
I'm not very experienced with port forwarding and don't have many ideas.
Maybe someone can help me through this.
Any assistance would be really appreciated.
Verify your port forwarding on canyouseeme.org to ensure the double is correct (such as gateway for local IP). It has been a while since I used nukkit, so that's all I can offer. Good luck!
Start by checking your server's IP address from your computer. You don't need to forward the port in your router for a LAN game. How is your network structured? Are all devices connected via Ethernet?
I did this and received my public address, but I'm uncertain whether to include it in the server.properties for my Pi. After some attempts, I realized I'm not sure what to do with it once I find it. For my LAN, I attempted to set up port forwarding on the Pi's local IP through server.properties, but that didn't work. I switched to a default IP and still faced issues. I can ping the Pi from my W10 laptop using CMD with full packets, but when trying to ping my laptop from the Pi using PuTTY, it just hangs. The Pi is able to reach the internet, yet it doesn't seem to respond to any pings on my LAN.
So, I tried adjusting my firewall settings, and from what I can find on the internet, I have everything set up the way it should be.... mind you, there's so much crap to wade through, it's unreal.
I made sure that the mDNS rule was added to my inbound, that mSamba was allowed in the apps, and I connected to the router via lan instead of wan. My pi is also on the lan.
I tried to ping my pi from my other Linux lappy, and it'll ping just fine.
I also installed minecraft on that laptop, and tried to connect to the pi, but it won't. This leads me to believe that it is the PI that is the issue, and not a connection from windows to linux screwup somewhere...
