    For starters I have removed mobarena before and have gotten the same error, and secondly I don't know about the custom craftbukkit version. The only thing I can tell you is well rather i can show you the code I used for the batch file
    @ECHO OFF
    SET BINDIR=%~dp0
    CD /D "%BINDIR%"
    "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit-1.2.5-R4.0.jar
    PAUSE
    as you can see i had to rename craftbukkit.jar to craftbukkit-1.2.5-R4.0.jar in the batch file or else i wound be getting "unable to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar". Lastly I have messed with hacked clients before, but have always forced update to uninstall, and am not currently using one.

    Does the server you are hosting have internet connection? Can you open a browser (on that system) and connect to minecraft.net?

    well yes of course i can go to minecraft.net, and login as extremegamer1234 (my minecraft username) just fine.

    Are you using a proxy? Because it doesn't seem like your server can connect out. Its both failing at checking against dl.bukkit.org for the server version, and failing to log you in. It simply cannot talk to the required services.

    Okay but this will sound noobish, but what exactly is a proxy? And how to I find out if i'm using one? I have heard of them, but don't understand them. Also how could this only affect bukkit, but not regular vanilla client?

    It won't affect the client because I think the client is proxy aware. The server is not.

    Depends on your operating system. If its Windows 7 - http://answers.oreilly.com/topic/675-how-to-configure-proxy-settings-in-windows-7/

    shou
    Should i configure it for a LAN connection and will this also allow others to see my server as available, and online? Also is this proxy on my router or computer or what? Im sorry to sound so demanding this is just getting into things I don't understand very well.

    EDIT: I am not using a proxy as far as I know of, everything I do on the internet is directly from this computer not coming from a proxy from this computer. Also this is about setting up a proxy which is not something I want to do I think? At this point im getting confused.

    so again is anyone still reading this?

    try testing your ports out on this website http://www.ipfingerprints.com/portscan.php
    go to advance and turn it to Don't ping
    if it says connection is filtered u have portforward and nothing is blocking it
    if it says closed hum..... u may wanna recheck your steps

    Fallout921

    Well whenever I have used that port checker tool it has said closed, but I have another one that I use thats says its open. I know its open because I can play on a vanilla server that I host with my friends not using hamatchi.

    that connect issue doesn't have to do with port forwarding.
    Allow all your java.exe and javaw.exe binaries trough the firewall.
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe

    (note: Maybe you don't have all these files installed, in case you can't find all these files, just allow the ones who are present)

    Allow the .jar and the .bat file through the firewall too.
    As you can browse the internet, the connection seems to be okay.
    Try running as administrator.

    Make sure there is no antivirus that puts it in sandbox or something like that.

    Check if you can find log files of your firewall. If there are log files, it should log if it blocks a connection.

    Okay I may sound like a noob but I understood only half of that sorry :( but ill run the server and check the logs.

    INF 2012-07-23T12:01:22-05:00 fw,fwmon src=76.29.6.146 dst=192.168.x.xx ipprot=17 (layer 4 info unknown) Unknown inbound session stopped

    src=75.183.88.191 dst=192.168.x.xx ipprot=17 (layer 4 info unknown)
    Unknown inbound session stopped

    This is what i found in the logs says inbound session stopped not sure if thats it or not.

    Just allow the files I listed there throug your firewall.
    There are multiple java versions. If vanilla runs, it could be that you only allowed one of these versions. In that case, allowing all these programs through the firewall would fix it.

    Allow craftbukkit.jar and start.bat through the firewall too, just to be sure.

    Try running your server as administrator.

    Antivirus could be blocking internet connection for your server. You should check if it does this, eventually you could try to temporary disable it, to see if it's solved.

    Check the logs of your firewall. It might list for example this: Blocked java.exe from 127.0.0.1 to bukkit.org (Just an example, so you can see what I mean)

    What firewall / Antivirus / Windows version are you using? How are you connected to the internet?

    Again sorry for not understanding all of it but im using windows 7 connected to the internet with wireless, and do you mean antivirus on my computer and do you mean the firewall on my computer OR the one on my router (again sorry for the bombarding questions)?

    firewall on your computer.
    Your router firewall will block Ports and IP's. But they are okay, as you can connect to the internet.
    Your computer firewall will block ports and programs.
    So it's the computer firewall
    So windows 7 -> Wireless -> Router -> Modem -> Internet

    I have completely turned off my computer's firewall and it remains the same, but do you want me to be editing the settings from control panel->network and internet->internet options->programs->(down near the bottom)internet programs? Sorry for being so dumb.

    Maybe your antivirus?
    Did you try another bukkit version already?

    What IS your anti virus soft ware? can you take a screen shot of all your programs?

    Fallout921

    I run 1.2.5-R4.0, and i'll have to see how I can check if the antivirus is stopping it, and which antivirus program's I have.

    EDIT: I believe I have McAfee, though i'm not sure if this is even an anitvirus program.

    I got a screenshot here is the link http://gyazo.com/e5661fd0988519eac0d0f62dfd324f2f
    this is all my anti-virus stuff.

    McAffee could be your antivirus. Upload it somewhere (google "free image upload" or something like that) , or put it on dropbox if you have that.
    Or you could attach it, there's an upload button alongside the post button

    YES I turned off McAffe firewall and BAM i can get in! Though I still need to figure out how to configure it to let minecraftb through. Thanks so much without you guys I never would have fond out it was the anitvirus. :D

    EDIT: In my "programs allowed to access the internet tab" there were 2 java binaries ONE was allowed the other blocked. I allowed them both, and now I can connect NO problem. Again thanks SO much I NEVER thought I would be able to solve this problem. You guys are the best!
