I have a c3000z and century link I'm not really a tech or a web designer so i have not much concept for all that stuff but i do know i need to put in my public ip address, tcp udp, ports (25565), and allow firewall but after all that it doesnt seem to be working. I checked what the problem was and it was apparently the port fowarding. im just a simple person so i dont understand what i did wrong

    Hey! Port forwarding can be tricky, but let's break it down. First, ensure you’ve set a static IP for your computer within your C3000Z router settings. Then, log in to your router, find the port forwarding section, and create a new rule. Enter your static IP, set the port range to 25565, and choose both TCP and UDP. Make sure your firewall is not blocking this port. If it still doesn’t work, double-check that your public IP hasn’t changed and that your firewall settings are correct. Also, consider restarting your router after making these changes.

    Once you’ve got it working, celebrate by learning how to make a bed in Minecraft—it's essential for setting spawn points and surviving those creeper attacks!
