Hello,

I am having trouble accessing my MC from outside my home network. I have configured my server and the port forwarding as shown in the attched pictures. If connected to my home WiFi, I can use the MC either through "Access Key" or "external IP Address". But whenever I try to connect from outside my home, always got the following error message. Please help me out of here. Many thanks!

Finding computer addresses associated with access key '******'

I added the [removed] and removed the image.

The wiki has a topic called Network Access.

You may not have your router configured to pass the packets to your local machine.

You may be running Media Server on multiple machines.  Turn it off for the ones you're not using.

IIRC, I had to turn on UPnP on my router (eero) for this to work even though port forwarding was set correctly. I believe this is router specific, though, so YMMV

Im having the same problem with my Eero.
Do you mind sharing your settings?
Do I need to open port 51299 for port forwarding aAND for Firewall?
Did you use a different port?

Whatever port you use must be forwarded by the eero gateway to the device you are running MC on, and that port must be allowed by any firewall you are running. I haven't tried to mess with uPnP lately but I have that on as well on the eero. I know this is suboptimal but when I tried to turn it off a while ago my external access to MC disappeared. I don't understand why.
