What are you running? Windows? OS X? Linux?

 

The oblm to this is simple, you will need to forward the port of your server. the port is '25565'

This site will help you do what you need to get it working. www.portforward.com

 

Did you put your ip in server-ip= section?

 

no, it means another process is using the port for something else.

bramhaag restart computer to get rid of stray processes, try again

 

necrodoom it's not working but i heave found a solucion. thanxs all.

 

How did you solve the problem?

 

you didn't port forward correctly

that has nothing to do with it.

 

I was asking to provide him support. If he ran OS X or linux, I would have asked him to do "pidof java" and then "kill -9 <pid>"

Also, port forwarding has nothing to do with this. A program can bind to a port on your computer without your router's ports being open.

 

ya with hamachi with out hamachi you have to port forward.

 

This.

patar15 Please do some research before trying to help.

 

why should I. I have experienced this word from word ik what i'm talking about.

 

Because you're wrong... You can run a server without port forwarding, so there is no reason open ports would cause this issue.

 

ok i see what your screaming.
my source that i found out how to with out hamachi or portforwarding is this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXCTpDFt_Ts btw bramhaag might want to look at this link it might help him.

 

again:
failed to bind port error =/= able to connect to server

 

After starting up your Minecraft server for the first time, you need to type 'stop' to stop the server. If you hit x to close the window, the server port is still running in the background. The only way I found to solve this is by restarting your computer.

 

Yes, U are right.
This is a frequently made mistake.
Restarting is the only way to fix this error.
