Unable to Access Server, from Local Machine or Otherwise

Hello everyone,

First time poster. I recently migrated to a new system and I sat down this morning to set up a fresh minecraft server using Bukkit. I currently however, cannot connect to said server from the machine it's being hosted on or otherwise. I have tried localhost, localhost:25565, my computers local static IP, and my dynamic external ip with no success. below I will post my setup procedure before coninuing, as I may have made a mistake.

• Downloaded Minecraft Client From Minecraft.net
• Tested Minecraft Client's connection to Minecraft.net (Valid)
• Downloaded Minecraft Server From MInecraft.net
• Downloaded Bukkit from Bukkit.org
• Installed Bukkit in same directory as Minecraft server
• Used Notepad++ to set server seed, creative mode, max build height, Server name and MOTD
• Manually added Exceptions to Firewalls.

I then started the Server through Bukkit to connect; low and behold I was unable to do so. I then tried some basic troubleshooting:

• Double Checked Port Forwarding & Local Static IP(Valid)
• Double Checked FIrewall Exceptions (Valid)
• Test if able to connect with Firewall disabled (Failed)
• Remote Access Test (Local Network) (Failed)
• Remote Access Test (Remote Network) (Failed)
• Restart Local Machine, then Test (Failed)
• Restart Network Card & Windows Network Services (No Effect)
• Run Server in "Vanilla" Mode (Still Unable to connect)
• Re-Installed Minecraft Client, Fresh Download (Still Unable to connect)
• Re-installed Server, Fresh Download (Still Unable to connect)
• Re-Installed Bukkit, Fresh Download (Still Unable to connect)
• Re-installed Java 64x Software (No Effect)

The Exact error it's giving me depends on what I do, here are my two most current test cases, with errors:

• Test Case Alpha-Direct Connection Method

• Log Into Windows
• Start MineCraft Sever via Bukkit
• Check if versions are valid using Pail Sever Manager
• Start Minecraft Client
• Log into Minecraft Client
• Click Multiplayer (No Servers listed)
• Click Direct Connect
• type "localhost" Results in "Failed to connect to the server" & "connection timed out:connect"
• Click back to title screen
• Click Multiplayer(No Servers listed)
• Click Direct Connect
• type "localhost:25565" Results in "Failed to connect to the server" & "connection timed out:connect"
• Click back to title screen
• Click Multiplayer(No Servers Listed)
• Click Direct Connect
• type my local static ip, Results in "Failed to connect to the server" & "connection timed out:connect"
• click back to title screen
• click Multiplayer (No Servers Listed)
• Click Direct Connect
• type external dynamic ip, Results in "Failed to connect to the server" & "connection timed out:connect.

• Test Case Beta-Add Server Method

• Log Into Windows
• Start MineCraft Sever via Bukkit
• Check if versions are valid using Pail Sever Manager
• Start Minecraft Client
• Log into Minecraft Client
• Click Multiplayer (No Servers listed)
• Click Add Server
• type "The Sandbox" in Server Name, this is the servers name from the server.properties file
• type "localhost" in Server Address
• Multiplayer Server list responds with "Can't Reach Server"
• Delete Server from list
• type "The Sandbox" in Server Name, this is the servers name from the server.properties file
• type "localhost:25565" in Server Address
• Multiplayer Server list responds with "Can't Reach Server"
• Delete Server from list
• type "The Sandbox" in Server Name, this is the servers name from the server.properties file
• type local static ip in Server Address
• Multiplayer Server list responds with "Can't Reach Server"
• Delete Server from list
• type "The Sandbox" in Server Name, this is the servers name from the server.properties file
• type external dynamic ip in Server Address
• Multiplayer Server list responds with "Can't Reach Server"
• Delete Server from list

I am running a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Machine, operating behind a LinkSys E2500 Router with up-to-date firmware on both the Router and Machine. Secuirty Software that maybe interfering but I have disabled while troubleshooting is: MalwareBytes, Bullguard Internet Security, Windows Defender & Windows Firewall.

I am sorry for the lengthy post, but I find when asking for help there is no such thing as "Too much" information, and as a bit of a power user I always enjoy having more information than I need to diagnose an issue rather than "Please help, my server doesn't work"

Thank you for reading this and I look forward to your input and to becoming a member of your online community!

Firstly, on windows "localhost" defaults to IPv6, so try connecting to 127.0.0.1 and see what happens there.

Secondly, if you have Bullguard Internet Security and the Windows firewall both running a firewall bad things will happen, you only ever want one firewall running on a computer.

Also it might be worth posting the contents of the console window on server start to see if anything weird is going on there

 

Thank you Wendo, here are the results of the troubleshooting you recommended.
1. Attempting to Connect to 127.0.0.1, Unable to Connect or Find server
2. Windows Firewall disabled, Bullguard Firewall Enabled, No success
3. Both Firewalls disabled No success
4. See Below

Thank you for your input! hopefully the console helps!

Right, well you've got a LOT of plugins you need to update, all those SEVERE errors are bad

It might actually pay to remove all your plugins temporarily and start the server without them and see if you can connect then. In any case you'll need to update/remove the following once you get connected

MagnetBlock
Lampstone
Multiverse-Core
Multiverse-Portals
Multiverse-Signportals
Multiverse-Netherportals

You also seems to have EssentialsXMPP completely unconfigured, at which point you might as well remove it.

You might also want to create this file manually to stop the warning

plugins\Essentials\jail.yml

I don't know what Bullguard defaults to when you "disable" the firewall, it may block all incoming connections so you'll probably want to setup an explicit rule to allow connections to TCP port 25565 from any address.

The best guide I could fine with a quick google is here although it's not perfect

I've never used Pail before, so I don't know what you mean when you say, "Check if versions are valid using Pail Sever Manager", which means that I don't know if it's 'checking' what I'm about to point out. Forgive me if this has already been verified.

But I do see in your log that you're using a 1.2.3 build of CraftBukkit, yet you say you downloaded the client from Minecraft.net, which should be a 1.2.4 client unless you intentionally downgraded, or Pail does that for you.

Due to the protocol version having been bumped from the last version to the current version, you won't be able to connect to a 1.2.3 server with a 1.2.4 client, which is what it sounds like you may be doing.

 

Doh, how did I miss it was still 1.2.3. Course I blame lack of error messages

 

Interesting, Alrighty, I will update the server base tomorrow, and disable those plug-ins and post back with an update! Thanks for the tips!

Alrighty, I updated the server to 1.2.4; Disabled all my plug-ins just to be safe, still no luck unfortunately, any other suggestions?

I also attempted an extra step, just now, attempting to run the server on alternate systems. Same issue; which is odd, save for one system, my personal laptop. As far as I can tell, there are no setting differances as all I did was bring the server file from one machine to the other.

 

HEY, just for anyone having my problem, for the e2500, you have to set your ip to static on the actual 192.168.1.1 page, in:
basic setup\internet connection setup\internet connection type\change from dhcp to static
BUT BE CAREFUL! if the numbers are wrong, the results could be fatal!
