  1. Hello bukkit,

    So I ventured off with my friend, and we were going to make a Minecraft server that uses bukkit and should, if this problem is fixed, be released before summer. I have made the server, port forwarding utp/tcp, 25565 done, ip works great, no bugs other than when he tries to join, it says no connection. windows firewall is disabled on my end (don't worry i have another one that allows java and the server through) and I am not sure what to do next. :/

    and he is connecting to the external IP address for your router? Not the same 192.168.x.x ip that you are using to connect to yours?

    @EpicSplasherFailsMC hmm is your port forward still valid? Your internal ip (192.168.().()) might have changed also has your external ip changed?
     
  4. Yes i am sure, and ports are still valid. neither of ours have changed.

    Are you running the server from a laptop? or on wireless? as those both can cause issues like this.
     
  6. Laptop. I'm actually on that laptop right now.

    Also sorry for the delayed response, as I am in a summer course and am co-making this server with a friend. He made the map, i made the online stuff.

    @EpicSplasherFailsMC When your running the server check the port on a website like this one: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
    If it says it's closed (when the server is running) then check your port forwarding job and that the port is actually allowed through your anti-virus. If you are 100% certain the port is forwarded after that, and are still getting a closed connection then report back.
     
  8. still nothing and it is allowed.

    Which IP should work?

    @EpicSplasherFailsMC You would use your IPv4 (External IP) that you can get on websites like Whatismyip.com. You would give that to your friend, and then you can connect to your server using 127.0.0.1 or localhost. If it is saying the port is open on that website I linked above then that is extremely weird you're having connection problems.
     
  10. I tryed again and it now says port closed.

    If it's closed then you did not port forward correctly. Check it when your server is running, and if it says closed then your server is not port forwarded.
     
  12. Under my router it shows that it is port forwarded, though.

    @EpicSplasherFailsMC dont forget to tahg people (use the tahg button on the bottom right of any post)
     
  15. Wait, which IP address should be in the .properties file? Mine is the IPv4.
    And others should join using the external IP address, correct?
    If so, than I'd like to see if any of you guys can join my server using the IP:
    107.216.48.236
    It is online if I am online on the forums.
