Try port 25565 and make sure all your server config files are set to the same port, don't ad any IP to the configs though.

Also check that the port forward is set to TCP/UDP and the Other option is selected, with start and end port having the same value.

No succes either, I did this when I tried it for the first time, but then I somewhere read that it may not work when both is selected.
And also, should I be doing this all with DMZ enabled or not ?

Okay, so I found out, that in the router it says static IP, but since DHCP is enabled, it changes my pc ipv4 address.
What should I do with that ? Simply turning off DHCP ?

I've found that port forwarding works best when the PC has a static IP address. So open a command prompt, type in "ipconfig /all" and then print the results. Then go to your router and see what range it uses for DHCP, this will be something like 192.168.1.100 and higher. In your network settings, disable DHCP by going into your TPC/IP properties and setting it to use ip address 192.168.1.10 (this is outside your router's DHCP range), subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and default gateway 192.168.1.0. Then put in the DNS hosts from your command line screen. Back on your router, you can then forward TCP and UDP to the static IP 192.168.1.10.

So I kinda did that. IP 192.168.0.10 Mask 255.255.255.0 default gateway 192.168.0.1 (I lost connection when i set 1 instead of 0) Ip is now succesfuly 192.168.0.10. But the ports still wont open. Not even DMZ.
