I know yous probably get alot of these. Anyway, I went off for a week, before that my server worked perfectly. No problems. When I got back, I gave my brother his own server (we share the same internet). Now I can't start up my server. It sometimes loads, but it says i can't connect. It says: Initializing... Loading toolkit properties...Done. Loading toolkit modules...Done. Wrapper is running on: Windows 8 6.2 x86 Starting wrapper... Starting UDP listen server on port 25561 Jan 17, 2013 6:35:12 PM net.wimpi.telnetd.net.PortListener run INFO: Listening to Port 25,561 with a connectivity queue size of 5. 210 recipes 27 achievements 2013-01-17 18:35:13 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version 1.4.6 2013-01-17 18:35:13 [INFO] Loading properties 2013-01-17 18:35:13 [INFO] Default game type: SURVIVAL 2013-01-17 18:35:13 [INFO] Generating keypair 2013-01-17 18:35:14 [INFO] Starting Minecraft server on *:25565 2013-01-17 18:35:14 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! 2013-01-17 18:35:14 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind 2013-01-17 18:35:14 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port? > Someone please help. Thanks
Your both binded to the 25565 port. Two servers cannot be bound to the same port. So what I would recommend is you open up the 25566 port in your router, for your brothers server. Then you go into the server.proporties and change the port from "25565" to "25566"
