Setting up a Minecraft server on your personal machine.
Setting up a Minecraft server on your personal machine.
Hey there, today I aimed to set up my own Minecraft server on my PC. I needed to share my IP address so friends could join too. However, my router settings only support IPv6, which means I can't forward an IPv4 address. Also, the IPv6 isn't working for my friends. I've already allowed UDP and TCP through the firewall and router, but I'm not sure how to make it function properly.
You receive an IPv4 address, yet your router configuration only shows "IPv6 Host Exposure." It seems the provider only implements IPv6 for new customers, while IPv4 remains unchanged.
Do you have CGNAT enabled? Are your Wi-Fi routers using the same private IP as your public IP? Can I connect you to another router?
I'm sorry, the term you're asking about isn't commonly used in this context. Could you clarify what you mean by "cgnat"? It might be a typo or a specific term from your device or network setup.
CNGAT utilizes NAT to allow multiple devices to use a single public IP. Is your router offering bridge or passthrough functionality? Could you request a higher cost from your ISP for a fixed IPv4 address?
