My internet still works, I posted this using the internet connection I'm troubleshooting.
This is what I have:
Modem: Arris DG1670A Bridged mode (routing disabled)
Router: Belkin router
Ethernet connection
What I'm trying to do:
Port forward: 25565 (for minecraft server)
I have also tried other ports like 25566 and 25564 with same results
I can join localhost (I can join my own server) but my friends can't. I'm giving them my external IP (not 192.168.x.x)
This is what I've done…
… On my router
-port forwarding (TCP & UDP)
-DMZ
-factory defaults
… On my modem
-port forwarding (TCP & UDP)
-DMZ
-Modem firewall OFF
-connected directly to modem
… On Windows 10
-Advanced firewall inbound and outbound rules for both TCP and UDP on 25565
-Turning Windows Firewall OFF
-Turning OFF all anti-virus/anti-malware including Windows Defender
-Allowed "Java(TM) Platform SE binary" through firewall (Private and Public)
… Called my ISP
-Said they don't block any ports and neither does the modem by default
… Tested my ports on different websites and programs saying they're blocked.
Weird things:
-I use Steam and tested all the ports here ---> https://support.steampowered.com/...-GLVN-8711 They're all apparently blocked but I'm still able to use all functions of Steam/play online games.
-Like the title says "all my ports blocked", I haven't been able to find a single port reported open. Even the common ones like 80, the list goes on.
