Networking is super confusing and I have my degree in networking. First, lets check your server log and make sure dynmap started correctly. You should see a line in the startup log like this `[dynmap] Web server started on address 0.0.0.0:8123` If there is an error here your port is likely in use already or there is a firewall issue on your OS. These issues are a bit too specific to cover in a guide so please contact the Dynmap team for support. However, if Dynmap did start correctly and there are no other related errors in the log then there was likely an issue with port forwarding or a firewall somewhere. First go to [canyouseeme.org](https://www.canyouseeme.org/) and enter your ip address and your port. It will check if the port is open, if it isn't then the issue lies in a firewall or your router. More information about port forwarding, how to do it, what it means, and what are the risks visit [this site.](https://portforward.com/) For all other issues or if you are still unable to open a port then contact the Dynmap team for support.
