[TM2] Firewall problems

The famous error with the NAT settings. My friends can't get into my server.
I opened the ports: 2350, 3450, 5000 and nothing. I need help! What need I to put in the Force Server Address? I put my ip, my computer's ip and with all the ports, and nothing. The computer's firewall doesn't work. Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

- port 5000 isn't really needed because it's the port for server controllers and not for player clients that want to connect
- force ip isn't needed as well (at least in my case ^^)
about the NAT settings: how did you configure the ports? you will need to forward them to your computer for the TCP/UDP protocols
did you try to join your server yourself?

IDK what to do. How can i check if the ports are opened? I opened them but I'm not sure.

Are you using the server on the same machine as you're running the game?
Do you use the dedicated server or the built-in server?
Did you start first the server, and only then the game?

I tried the built in server, and it didn't work. I tried the dedicated server and it didn't work too.

which router are you using?
which firewall / anti-virus are you using on your machine? Some do still block even if disabled.
What about Defender and other tools? Did you check them as well, if they are blocking ManiaPlanet?
One thing to see if the port is free on your machine: open a cmd window and enter the following command:
netstat -na
if the ports are liste there even if ManiaPlanet or the dedicated server are not running, then you have some other tool that is using the ports.

I tried to block the antivirus and the firewall and it didn't help. Now I turned on my antivirus back. I can't open any ManiaPlanet server. I even tried to open a server in Minecraft, and it work! My friends can enter to it! Please, help!
