(i might have accidentally posted this twice, but i can't see my orignal post. Sorry if i did.)

I have created a minecraft server and I am not using VPN - so I have sorted out port forwarding, dyndns and ensured the firewall is open for the relevant ports.

After creating the server on one PC on my network, I cannot access it from another PC on the network. I have tried my external IP address, the internal IP address of the PC running the server and the URL I registered with dyndns. I get "Can't connect to server" (if I use an IP address) and "Can't resolve server name" (if I use the URL).

From my second PC, I can ping all these (the external IP address, internal IP address and URL). I have also checked and port 25565 is open for UDP and TCP.

Any thoughts?

Thanks very much

This is not for Survival Games, and you need to ask someone like subv3rsion for stuff like this.
