I used the provided server tools to make a Java server. I have my 25565-25567 ports open but no other port but 25565 works to connect. I am certain I have the other ports open but attempting to use them will not allow me to connect to my server at all. I have used a port checker and it says it's open. Using 'localhost' on the computer to log in won't connect, I get "io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information: "

Can you explain what you mean by setting the client to the port? If you mean set it to where it shows in the cmd window as using it then yes it shows the port as the one I want to set it to but it does not work.
Make sure you aren't making changes to the server.properties file while the server is running.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.

I am not making them as the server is running. I close the server, change the port number then open it back up, the connection refuses on any port but default. As you can see in the pictures the cmd window displays which port I am running on at that time and I am fairly certain you cannot just change it while it's running and it display like that. Although I have not tried I would believe that is the case. I am certain I have the other ports open but the connection refuses. I do not see how this is technical support related exactly. I would see this as a bug as it works on one port but I want to use another and on any other it just refuses. If I can't find help there I'd consider you look into it as it would be very inconvenient to someone wanting to use a different port for a different server and run into this same issue.
Well thank you for nothing. A simple "did you make sure to add the port to 'localhost'?" would have resolved this issue properly instead of just saying "invalid go away" basically. Even though I found help in on area provided.
I'm sorry if the message came off as abrasive, but please keep in mind that this site is exclusively dedicated to tracking bugs within the game, and the networking issue you described goes outside of that scope. I was not trying to tell you to "go away" exactly, but rather to direct you to resources (such as the community support pages) where you would more likely find the solution to your problem. I could not have told you to add the port to localhost (I assume you mean using "localhost:255**" as the server address?) since I did not know that was the problem.
I had thought it was a bug because I wasn't aware you still needed to add the port to 'localhost:xxxxx' like that, I am still a little new to actually making servers and no guide is ever perfect for describing every detail. I apologize as well for not quite knowing where this should go. I just wasn't quite sure where the best place to get some help would be and I was fairly certain I was following each guide I saw as correctly as I could but it still wasn't working right. Thank you though for guiding me where I should go to though.
No problem. You can also join the new Discord server we set up for the bug tracker, and ask if something should be reported as a bug and whatnot.
Are you setting your client to the same port?
