I used to run all sorts of minecraft servers off of my old computer but that one was old and slow. Now I got a new computer and I wanted to get back to running servers and when I set up my port forwarding I cannot connect to the server. I know the port forwarding within the router is set up right, could there be firewall settings that I need to configure?
Thanks

as he has pointed out he is using windows 8 so as most of us know sometimes its not as easy to change the settings
Once you have done that see if it works, if it works then reenable your firewall and select the advanced settings and allow access to the application of choice. you can leave your firewall off if you really want but please remember this leaves you open to risks.
If it doesn't work then it will be something to do with your router and possibly the change of computer and it would be worth re setting up the port forwards.
Hope this has helped.
