Can your friend join your dedicated server directly using: 123.123.123.123:2457 and vice versa?

"123.123.123,123" being your external IP address.

Can confirm that this doesn't work in either direction (me to his server, him to mine)

I noticed that the port is kind of different for some people. For example, in the guides, most people connect with externalIP:2456 - but this doesn't work for our server, even though we opened up 2456, 2457, and 2458 TCP/UDP. externalIP:2457 works instead.

For example, this is in my start.bat:

@echo off
set SteamAppId=892970

echo "Starting server PRESS CTRL-C to exit"

valheim_server -nographics -batchmode -name "SERVERNAME" -port 2457 -world "NAME" -password "YOURPASSWORD"
