SOLVED Difficulty With Minecraft Server

This is another "cant set up a Minecraft server" post ... I'm hoping someone can help. Minecraft Server List on my computer but it does not work on his.



Both of our computers are wired directly to the ASUS the RT-AC86U router with an Ethernet cable. The IP address of his local computer in the US is 192.168.50.166.



These are the settings for port forwarding:



Service Name: Minecraft Source IP (blank). Port Range 2565 Local IP: 192.168.50.166 Port: 25565 TCP: BOTH



If he is running Minecraft on his own computer and direct connects to 192.168.50.166 the connection is established. However when he enters the external IP (obtained from the "Network Map" page of the router settings) this will result in the error:



Failed to connect to the server io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information



When I attempt to connect from my computer to 192.168.50.166, I get the exact same error message from Minecraft.



But here's the real kicker ... Everything works if I run the server on my personal computer (192.168.50.48) and modify the Local IP port forward settings according to my needs. I can connect to the Minecraft server via either my local IP, or the external IP.
