    Have you port forwarded? Your answer probably lies in this thread.

    Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I use portmap and left the ip in the server settings blank. I tried getting rid of my firewall I think its down but (I have a mac) so I went into system preferences and went to security and then firewall and turned it off. What am I doing wrong?

    i know nothing about a mac, but i do know that its not safe to completely turn your firewall off, just be sure that the port is able to pass through your firewall. i dont recommend completely shutting off your firewall.

    Perhaps someone that knows more about setting up a server on a mac can help you.

    Sorry.

    Assuming you're talking about this port forwarding tool. If its an issue with that, you should probably ask in that thread. Have you checked to see if the port is visible using: http://canyouseeme.org/

    This is what it said
    I could not see your service on 71.103.136.20 on port (80)
    Reason: Connection timed out

    I'm 98% sure not running your server on port 80. Try scanning for port 25565 or whatever port your server is on.

    Connection refused = server not running

    I just retried it and it still says connection refused. I got a message from a person here I will just write what he wrote

    Yess ! i have found the solution :D what it is is tat when u turn off portmaps it has changes the ip slightly so nobody can join so u go to no -ip and just make a new host delete the old one and make the host name the EXACT as the last one with the updatedd server ip :D hope this helped get beck to me and tell me l8r

    Not sure what he means by that but hopefully you guys can figure it out?

    And I was running the server this time

    I have no idea.. The wording is pretty bad :'(

    I recommend you get rid of portmaps and follow the tutorial on the wiki.

    Could it be java?

    Highly unlikey, I wouldn't see how java would affect port forwarding in anyway. Try following that tutorial, if you still have issues come back for help :)

    Okay since your on a mac, thats a bit out of my area of experience. This is a fairly simple task to do, I'm not sure what else I can help you with besides telling you that if you follow the guide, it will work correctly

    This might be very, very late, but I want to help. :) I'll make the "person's" message easier to understand. When you turn off portmap (the application), it changes the ip address so no one else can join. To prevent that, go to
    no-ip.com. Then create an account. You need to make a host. When you make a host, you need to type the host's name. The host's name would be your server ip. If this does any help or if it doesn't help, please reply. :D

    Hey I need help I got the same problem and nothing is happening- the canyouseeme.org only tells you that somethings wrong not what or how to fix it. My server is port forwarded fine, and my IP's are correct! Please help! Oh and I do have windows 7!

    I have a problem too. This started happening earlier today while me and my friends where playing. They one of them got off real quick to do something and my other friend did too. Then when they tried to connect again it said "can't reach server" and they couldn't get on. I tried portforwarding it again and checked the IP. I use a DNS which is SCU.us.to but some of my friends are able to connect with my external IP which is 76.110.190.230:25565. However me and my brother are able to get online with our internal IP. Is there a way to fix this without messing up the server, router, computer, or IP/DNS. Can somebody PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    I don't use Hamachi or any host. I portforwarded the server using the defeault gateway for me which is 192.168.1.1 I also use a Windows 8
