Minecraft Multiplayer different networks

Hello,

I am trying to do a POC for a Home School group of 30 students. They would like to use Minecraft for education in a classroom setting over the internet. Basically all 30 students are not on the same network (LAN) since they are all on their home network.

I followed this guide https://minecrafteducation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001429408-How-To-Set-Up-A-Multiplayer-Game-

1. I setup a Base Windows 10 Machine that has internet access. It has an external public IP address and an internal one 10.10 address. I will call this machine MineCraftServer

2. Installed Mine Craft for Education created a multiplayer world

3. Using a new Windows 10 machine I also installed Minecraft for education. Call this machine MineCraftStudent

4. On both machines I opened ports Port 19132 TCP AND UDP

5. On my Minecraftstudent machine I setup the servers tab pointing to the public IP address of MineCraftServer.

When I do this it will not connect.

If I look at the IP address listed on the Minecraftserver within the game screen it shows the IP address as the internal IP not the external.

How can I connect to the server on two different networks if it only configures to the local IP?

Thanks for posting. A few notes:

Port 19132 is opened on the network, not the machine (I think this is what you did)
You can verify the IP address at whatsmyip.com
Is Minecraftserver running with a player in the world when you try to connect?

We can create a request if we need to troubleshoot deeper on this.

Kyle thank you for your prompt reply it is appreciated!

Can we do a support request? I think it would be easier to take a look at if that is possible.
