Hello. I recently purchased Minecraft, and decided to play some multiplayer, but have run into a problem.

It seems that any server with a port on the end doesn't work. So a server with the address 90.204.209.130 works fine, but another server like 178.239.170.69:25565 doesn't work.

I went into port forwarding a put this in:

Name: Mcraft
Start Port: 25565
End Port: 25565
Protocol: Both
Local IP Address: 192.168.0.2

But it doesn't work. I tried using 2 port checker sites, but they both say that the port is still closed. I have checked the same ports with my laptop, and get the same problem. I tried turning off my firewall and antivirus software, as well as the firewall in the router, but no luck. I also tried forwarding a different port for a different server, but that didn't work either.

What do I do?
