From what I can see I have set up everything as it needs to be, but I am left with one major issue.
I have used a few different Port Checker tools and regardless of the port I search, the TCP port always fails to connect. But the UDP port is fine.
The problem is I need to connect to the TCP port...
The port I need to use is 43594.
I have run netstat -ao in the cmd prompt and nothing is connected to that port.
So do I have some sort of lock on my TCP ports or something? I've absolutely clueless as to what my options are now.
I feel like I have exhausted all my options.

If so try rebooting the router.
The app MUST be running if you want something to show as connected to it with a port checker.

I have also tried doing separate ones for each. Neither of those worked.
I am logged into my server, and then run the netstat -ao again.
This time it says that port is connected to PID 7524.
Checked in the Task Manager and PID 7524 is Java(TM) Platform SE binary
But when I run the portchecker again it says it cant connect to TCP port because it is in use?
And as usual the UDP port check is successful.

Can you also confirm that the server is listening on 0.0.0.0 rather than 127.0.0.1 in netstat?

Quote from: adamcookeuk Do you have a firewall on the computer which is running the server? If so, have you allowed this connection through?

What exactly do you mean? I have McAfee as my security. However I have also tried Windows Firewall turned on and off. In Windows Firewall I have created 2 exception rules to allow connections to port 43594.
One rule for TCP and one rule for UDP.
In the netstat it says
Proto: TCP
Local Address: 0.0.0.0:43594
State: LISTENING
PID: 7524
EDIT - I just noticed it also says
Proto: TCP
Local Address: 127.0.0.1:43594
State: ESTABLISHED
PID: 7524

Would I need to create a signed JAR file and put that on another PC?

I need to get it connected so that my friend who lives with me can connect to it on their laptop.
I feel like I have tried everything. The only thing I can think that is stopping it working is the TCP port and my inability to get the darn thing to connect.

IT is now a problem on your "server" probably the firewall stopping it.
You DON'T need to port forward on the router for LOCAL network access.
What OS are you running, if it is an M$ one then someone who use M$ can help you more than me.

I had to switch the IP address from 127.0.0.1 to my static IP address and that worked.
That's all I needed doing right now.
Thanks for the replies guys! Much appreciated.
