I had a friend try to join my server and he got the 1017 error as well. I know this is probably obvious to all of you, but could you explain port forwarding to me? Everywhere I read just says it opens ports and directs them to your computer, but does that close those ports off to someone else on your same LAN? If everything is being directed to my computer, will my husband still be able to access it? Do I need to forward those ports to [I]both[I] of our internal IPs? I do know how range forwarding is done on my router.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why others can't connect.
