Hi,
I have one question how do you port forward minecraft servers?
Yes most of you will say GOOGLE it but none of them use my router
My router is a 2701 HGV-W Gateway 2Wire Telecom router
I have ported it forward but only one of my friends could join this is what I put in for it.

All my other friends would get "Could not resolve host name" or "Unable to reach server"
Please help and little bit of info. could help me
Thank you for reading my post(: Hope you can help.

Does it work if you set the Application Type to None/Default?

I've already tried that but they both give the same results only one of my friends can join (Same friend everytime) i'm not really sure how port forwarding works. I've tried using programs from PCWinTech like Simple Port Forward my router is listed but it is the wrong firmware i've already sent a thingy to tell them to add it.
Thanks(:

Have you enabled access in teh windows firewall also?

Try following this guide, the GUI may look different, but it is the same router.
