    Can someone walk me through port forwarding with two routers, I will post screenshots as needed. I've tried many tutorials online and I can't seem to get it to work.

    Assuming you have one router connected to internet and the other to the first one: the easiest will be putting the second one in DMZ of the first one. That will make the second be virtually connected to the internet. Then you can configure port forwarding in the second router as usual.

    networking - What is blocking my ports?

    How do I find out what is blocking my ports? I am on Windows 7 x64 and trying to run Minecraft on port 25565, which worked yesterday, but not today. I have not installed any new software.

    I have tried disabling Windows firewall, and I previously added two days ago a port forwarding setting to my modem. Since it worked yesterday I don't think it has to do with my ISP.

    You can see what applications are using what ports by running the following in command prompt

    netstat -anobv

    Once you find out what program is holding the port, if it is not important you can kill the process from task manager.

    Something I have noticed is that minecraft will sometimes not shutdown all the way and the java program is running in the background. I have to kill the java process from task manager.
