Friend who lives with me can't join my server but everyone outside of my network can.
Here is the original post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/admincraft/comments/1f7c3b3/im_having_trouble_having_a_friend_on_my_network/
I posted this a few weeks ago on the Reddit and I have unfortunately not found a solution just yet. I'm hoping to be able to get this sorted out before going to a paid hosting service which I really don't want to do.
TLDR: Anyone from outside of my home network can join the server perfectly fine, no lag, no disconnects, etc. For some reason, one of my friends who lives with me suddenly can't join the server after being able to for a week straight. Port forwarding was done correctly, my IP is static and hasn't changed since the server starting, he can join as long as he's on another network, and I don't have any logs to show I don't think as it won't even log his attempts to join, he also always gets the same error message.

The error:
!logs
Please check your server log for errors from your plugins.
If you need further help understanding the errors, please send us the whole log file.
Where can I find the server log?
Logs are stored in
<server_directory>/logs/. Search for a file explorer in your server's management interface and navigate to that directory. Once you've opened that up, search for the latest.log file. Some providers have a separate page for logs and may hide the "logs" folder.
On Aternos:
• Go to https://aternos.org/log/.
On Minehut and server.pro:
• Go to the "files" tab in the left menu.
• Navigate to the root directory of your server.
• From there navigate to /logs/latest.log.
What should I do with the log?
• First of all, read it! I mean, that's what you do all the time when you run a server, isn't it? Try to locate any errors that have anything to do with the issue you are facing.
• If you got the latest.log file or created a .txt file with the necessary errors you can upload these directly to the channel, but we prefer if you upload them to https://mclo.gs/.
• If you have trouble downloading the log file, copy/paste the text to a paste service (like mclogs). Copy the link that it gives you and send it to us. (Don't worry, McLogs hides your users' IPs.)Admincraft Canned Responses
that error gives legit no information what’s so ever
Well here are the logs for the day the error first occurred:
https://mclo.gs/GFSk7EH
I'm going to leave the list of things I've already tried here as well:
Things attempted so far:
Connecting to my ipv4 with and without port number
Connecting with public ip with and without port number
Connecting using my pc's host name
Disabling his firewall
Disabling whitelist
Restarting his client and pc
Restarting the server
Restarting my pc
Him joining on a network outside of home (it worked)
huh ok so if he’s on YOURE network is he joining with ip or ipv4 of you’re server
Back when he was able to join, he used my IPV4 with the server port, nothing else worked
he needs to use your internal IP. (the one starting with 192.168.x.x or 172.16.x.x)
I know, that's how he used to be able to join but it's not working anymore
does your router have network isolation enabled or something like that?
you can easily test it by doing
ping <ip> in cmd. You'll need to also make sure that the internet adapter is set to a private network if you're on windows or else pinging another machine won't workIt might be on then. I tried doing the ping to his pc and I got "Destination host unreachable". Also it is set to private network
The machine you're trying to ping needs to have the network set to private
The machine you're pinging from doesn't matter
His is also set to private
Yeah, I'd check in the router if there's some kind of isolation enabled. Being connected to a guest network would do the same thing
I don't think I'm able to disable that on my router actually. Apperently spectrum doesn't like letting their users have access to that kind of setting
It's just strange because we were able to at one point, and then suddenly we just couldn't
Thanks for the help tho! I do appreciate it!
