A buddy and I want to play Synergy, Minecraft etc. Again. Games that we host locally, as always. It's just been a while that we can't even ping ourselves anymore, which makes every server useless.
We both have Internet, we're both in Discord on the telen… But pinging the direct IP does not give any feedback, neither of us. We can of course ping any other IP, we also have the internet as normal… What's going on? That is completely impossible. We have internet!
And yes, firewalls etc. Allow everything… Otherwise we would not have internet as I said
You probably tried the wrong IP
Snooping deactivated?
Thanks.ne, we're already able to use the correct IP xD
So not 192.168.178.xx?
You can also try the IPv6
No we did not use the internet IP… The IPv6 would bring us nothing anyway, because we can't use it for servers
Use this port scanner to test whether the Minecraft port is open.

Internet IP?
You just want to play zsm via LAN, don't you? Try Hamachi or something similar
We also did Hamachi, it doesn't do anything either… Thanks, but we all got through the basic stuff
I have set port releases in the router for a long time, the sparks also… The site is also garbage, which says my FTP port is closed, even though I have opened it once, and yes it works
Then try the scanner here. By the way, it works for both - IPv4 and IPv6. http://www.ipv6scanner.com/cgi-bin/main.py
And on the page you can test whether you can ping your IP: https://www.ipaddressguide.com/ping
You can only "ping" yourself when your computers are both (!) Directly on the Internet (each with an official, non-private IP) - this is rather unusual today. You are probably both using a router, since both computers are each in a private network, and you are surfing with the official IP that is on the router (assigned by your provider). In these cases, ICMP protocols (e.g. Ping) would end at the router, which, depending on the configuration, may send back an ICMP response packet. It may then respond to the other's router, but not their computer (e.g. Gaming console, notebook or PC, …).
