Hi, so my wife is running a private server on her computer right now, and after some fiddling we managed to get it working so everyone could connect. We played a bunch yesterday, and some people were playing today but when I went to join, the server screen was pinging infinitely and when I tried to join it said the connection timed out.
Everyone else was still connected to the server. When one exited to see if they could reconnect, they had the same issue with me and it didn't work. Tried restarting the server, checked the router settings (IP address, port forwarding, firewall) and computer settings (IP address, firewall), and nothing had changed. Everything was the same as when it was working just a few hours before.
She tried redoing the firewall settings since that's what prevented us from seeing or connecting to the server the other day when we were setting it up, but nope, it still didn't work. Canyouseeme also cannot see the port open, even with the server up.
I have a background in network engineering (granted that was many years ago, and not focused on home networking) and yet I'm completely stumped as to what could be happening. Any ideas as to what could be causing this suddenly?
