So, like many others I have forwarded ports. 7777, 7778, 27015 in both TCP [AND] UDP protocol in my modem/router optical network unit. The address for the ports is the local IP of the machine to the router. Windows defender firewall is disabled.
DSL WILL NOT For some reason WILL NOT Read those ports as open.
I have seen other people run the DSL with it reading the ports closed and still access their servers.
I tried to access mine from 127.0.0.1:7777 as I did a couple years ago, no dice.
For everyones S\A:
I am currently running on Windows 11 Atlas 0.50 Ports from the network device noted in the network config device in the DSL, which matches the network address of my PC in netstat, and from my routers connected devices.
I have done everything the same as I did two years ago when I last ran the DSL for a home server and it worked then, but now it is refusing to read the ports or let anyone connect.
