When I try and connect on my PC on minecraft it says 'Connection timed out:connect'

I'm on a VPS. (Windows Server 2008 R2)

Help?

My server.properties file:

#Minecraft server properties
#Sat Jul 16 14:02:15 EST 2011
level-name=wor
allow-nether=true
view-distance=10
spawn-monsters=true
online-mode=true
spawn-animals=true
max-players=10
server-ip=109.169.41.204
pvp=false
level-seed=
server-port=25565
allow-flight=false
white-list=true

 

The server IP should either be localhost(127.0.0.1) or whatever IP your router shows. An easy way to show it is to run the command prompt, and type ipconfig. It's normally something like 192.168.1.x, where X is a number. Change it to either one of those, and then you can log in wither either that server IP you have typed or your router IP. 109.169.41.204 is your ISP's static IP for your modem, and that's what external users would use to connect to your server.

EDIT: Also, I noticed that you have white-list set to true, so make sure your name is in the whitelist.

 

I type in IPconfig and this comes up, what one it it?

On my server i dont put anything for the IP.

 

That's the one. Are you connected to a router or hub/switch? That looks like your computer is plugged directly into the modem.

 

I'm on a VPS therefor I don't know.
Most likely.

 

@CraigRyder try not putting anything for the IP also did u port forward?

 

I've changed the IP so there's nothing and I'm not sure if i've port forwarded properly :/

 

Can You Connect Now?

EDIT: Do you have skype?

 

I can connect now.

And no, I don't have skype.

 

Ok. Good that was your problem

What is your Server IP?

 

Oh I though you ment can I connect to the VPS :/ and no, I cannot connect to the server.

 

Hmm, did you try restarting you're computer? and run it again, then if it keeps saying connection time out, maybe you didn't port foward you're server. if not and you want it to be private, you can do this: run the server, go to you're internet settings, ( Connection Info ) go to you're ip adress listed, type it in the in the box as you would want to join any other servers, i do that with my server

 

I rebooted my VPS ran bukkit and this came up:
