finally i got an isp that are allowing their customers to set up their own server at home.
I added the settings
Code: Select all
server_announce = true
enable_server = true
server_name = ...
server_description = ...
remote_port = 30000
port = 30000
serverlist_url = servers.minetest.net
max_users = 15
and in port forwarding (router firewall is off)
the console says
Code: Select all
2019-01-19 11:17:45: [Main]: Using world specified by --worldname on the command line
message from mods ...
message from mods ...
message from mods ...
2019-01-19 11:17:46: ACTION[Main]: World at [... minetest-0.4.17.1-win64\bin\..\worlds\S]
2019-01-19 11:17:46: ACTION[Main]: Server for gameid="minetest" listening on 0.0.0.0:30000.
it still not going online, what is missing or wrong?

Not sure but I think you have to specify the port for each server, so maybe two entries for two ports?
Source target and local port are blank, is that okay?

trying to change it, but what should it be in the local / target?
(changed 30000,30001 to 30000)

the router says it are using a private ip, does it matter?

the router tells you that where ?
the router need to know that the outside port, 30000 or 30001 (all ip, so not used or sometime need 0.0.0.0), should be forwarded to a
* ip intern network, most 192.168.x.x (what the mts is)
* maybe also to what port there - most easy if same (check minetest.conf and after started the text showed, pic also)
* tcp/udp or/and ...
so at your picture maybe local port should be filled also

30000 is the only port im using, and the local ip, firewall is off, dmz on... still not working.
EDIT:
the problem is my isp is rebuilding their network, and are using CG-NAT.
it makes it impossible to use port forwarding, except through some kind of service.

oh I had the same here also, 1 year i needed to get that out = no own server, and a lot of useless time lost by testing
so:
* what services - can you missuse some other port, that is allowed to forward, instead of the official server that it should be (maybe 80 possible ?)
* can you ask the provider to give you a normal address, no NAT - at me at worked like that = MTS running and usable (after my request it took 2 days, then i had public ip, without NAT)

I had the same problem. Might be different because of your ISP doing stuff but I deleted the forwarded config entry in the router's config page and made a new one, this time giving my pc a static IP, and making sure my pc was chosen in the selected device drop down. This filled in some IP details that I hadn't been able to manually.
