I have added the port to my router.

And added port 25565 to my firewall, and contacted my ISP, i added 192.168.0..169 as a static ip for my pc where the minecraft server is hosted.

When someone trys to join by using publicip:25565 they get discornected and get a error message "Connection Refused".

I dont know what to try.

Best Answer

Add an exception to your firewall or temporarily turn it off.

Port forwarding allows for other devices outside the network to attempt connections to a device within your network - but that does nothing when your device refuses the connection.
