How to port forward a minecraft server locally and externally?

I have created a minecraft server before using port forwarding. I could never connect locally, but that wasn't a huge issue. I just got a new router AND computer, but I can't seem to successfully open a fully working server. I can open the server fine, and I can connect as localhost if I so choose, but locally it is impossible for people to join. Externally people can't seem to join either. I have opened a port and everything, but it doesn't seem to work. I have looked up the ability to add "? Override=true" to the end of the other computer's ip addresses, but that doesn't seem to work. It only seems to work on the online, website, browser type servers. Any suggestions?

Minecraft server Connection Timed Out error?

I'm trying to connect two accounts to multiplayer in the same house. I've checked canyouseeme.org and it says my port is open, but from my public IP address. When we tried to connect with that number (the one you get from googling yourself) and port it doesn't connect at all. When we connect using the IPV4 and port, the second person can connect to my server, but only for less than a minute before getting a "Connection Timed Out" error. I've already added an exception rule to allow all access through my Norton Firewall. What else is there?

Minecraft- Skydoesminecraft server playing up?

Okay so I'm subscribed to Skydoesminecraft on youtube and of course I'm on his server, I love playing on it with my friends, especially his assassins creed mini game, but a few weeks ago, I tried to join it and it said, your account has been permanently disabled, and the word permanently was in red and underlined. Was I banned?! I've never been banned from a server before and don't hack or do anything wrong I don't spam the chat and most of the time I have chat hidden because sometimes people can be harsh in the chat. I wasn't doing anything wrong and I was about to joint levels PVP (another thing I really miss) and then it went to the your account has been permanently deleted. I checked everyday since and it always says the same thing, none of my other servers are doing it. What should I do? I want it back!
