The IP 127.0.0.1 is an internal IP (only valid from your own computer) - you need your external IP address.

In the server shortcut you left TheWorldName - that you must delete it and type the name of your world - the physical name of the world you create it.

Also, make sure your worldname has no spaces. "My world" will not work for a server. But if you create a world named "Myworld" or "My_world", then it will work.

so, i have to write IP from: http://whatismyipaddress.com/ ?

Not necessary. If you like, click that, but even simply Googling "What is my ip" will give you your IP.

i wrote there my IP and i cant go to that world.

ahhh i think that i did bad port forward. what i have to write in LAN IP Addres?

Go to google and type "what's my ip addres" There will appear "your IP is" and copy the number. Paste it on address settings over the section Server/singleplayer. - no the section Client. Then try to run the server.

maybe you did ok, but there's one step
Call your internet provider and ask or your gateway username and password
Did you remember the step ipconfig on cmd? the gateway number, type it on the browser url bar, and it'll send you to your gateway page. There you will need the username and password of your gateway. Then you login, go to firewall options or gaming options - depends where it's located, (in my case was DMZ option) type your IPV4, and enable it. Now the server must be running. on Minetest, the server address you must type the internet IP - http://whatismyipaddress.com/

i port forwarded. i did shortcut (i wrote there my world name without apace), i did settings ( i did server name, addres, description, server announce), and i tried join there with my IP, but i can go there only on 127.0.0.1 IP. i cant join that world on my IP addres.

You've answered me. Now I know what's the problem. You forgot to access your gateway page. Read my before comment. There are the steps. I had the same problem like you.

IF YOU ADD YOUR IP INTERNET, BUT YOU HAVEN'T MADE THE GATEWAY STEP, IT WILL NOT WORK. YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER AND GET ACCESS TO YOUR GATEWAY.

i add computer IP

forget port forwarded. Check on gateway options, if there's a firewall option. or something like that. SELECT FIREWALL OPTIONS ,IF THERE'S ANY ON YOUR GATEWAY OPTIONS.
