OK, so you're trying to forward a Minecraft server. Along with the Port Forward, do you have an associated firewall rule that explicitly allows that traffic? You need both.
-
I went to firewall:rules it shows the rule made by the NAT
-
Dest Address=25565?
-
I saw that and assumed it must be a typo.
Do you have any rules above your Minecraft rule that would supersede it? Perhaps a screencap of your rules would help.

What he has for Dest Address is pretty important info.

I've worked in IT long enough to assume my users are lying to me without even knowing it ;D

sorry its taken a long time to respond went on holiday.
i added udp tcp ports rule that allow the server.exe file to pass through the windows firewall.
