Minecraft server connection error

Ok, so i wanted to set up a bukkit seerver for me and my pals. I had a vanilla server, but its time for an upgrade... I port forwarded, allowed java through my firewall, ect. When i finally set up the server, everything went perfect! I tried to test if it worked, but no luck on my PC, it said i couldnt reach the server because it timed out. i tried port checker and everything! some of them said my port was open and some said it wasnt. i restarted my pc and i got my moms laptop to test it, still no luck.

this is my properties file info:

Code:

#Minecraft server properties
#Thu Mar 08 14:09:22 PST 2012
allow-nether=true
level-name=world
enable-query=false
allow-flight=false

PLEASE HELP ME!

 

Remove the Server IP from your config. Make it blank and try it again.

 

NOPE! didnt work... =(

 

Did you stop your server completely, change the server.properties value, and then start it again?

 

yes

 

Try starting the server, then use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ , Does that work?

 

It said "Success: I can see your service on 96.247.70.25 on port (25565)
Your ISP is not blocking port 25565!" BUT! people still cant connect =(

Code:

Failed to connect
connect:connection refused

That only really shows when the server is not online, or something it seriously wrong.

Can you double check your IP(If you want) http://www.whatismyip.com/
And can you find any errors at all in the log (Ex people unable to join)?
Also, have you portforwarded both UDP and TCP?

LATE ADD: Do you have any plugins installed?
Again: Sorry, thinking of things along the way, What is your code to start the server?

 

I portforwarded both UDP and TCP. I do have like 8 plugins installed, and my code for the RUN.bat file is:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE

Oh, and i have a Windows xp professional 32 bit with intel core 2 duo. I dont know if that helps or not...

How do i make my server online?

I am stumpped as to why people can't join :S

And what do you mean by make it online sorry? So only people with paid accounts can play?
If so, change;

Code:

online-mode=false

to

Code:

online-mode=true

 

You said: "That only really shows when the server is not online, or something it seriously wrong." what do YOU mean by server is not online

 

By that sorry, it normally shows when someone is able to connect to the server via the open ports eg, but is then refused access by the server because it is not running.

 

Any other suggestions?

When i try to connect, the logs don't say anything about the players loosing connection or cannot joining!

Same problem D:

 

Never mind! I found out why! I had the wrong ip address!

 

Hi i have a similar problem...but that site says Conection timed out...btw i did have the server running when this happened i have confirmed that my ip is 75.110.80.190 i am curious to if i should re-port forward or not, the only problem is that when i type in my default gateway into the adress bar it says "internet explorer can not display webpage"
What to do?!?

 

my server is like this too but i could not fix it

try typing localhost

 

PLEASE HELP, i have had a succesful craftbukkit server before on the same settings everything, i didnt have premium before. recently i bought minecraft and went to start up my server and i couldnt connect to it. it said cant reach server, (i use hamachi) i have fallowed tons of tutorial setups just in case but i have everything correct. i tried the localhost connection via direct connect. it worked the first time but then it just stoped. so just to sum it up after i bought minecraft my server stopped working. o and also i forgot to mention, i did make new ones to see if my old one was corrupted and nothing. i really want to play with my friends. please help

additional info: i play on windows 7 32 bit java

i forgot to mention that i removed the ip from the server properties and i can join via direct connect with localhost but if i put an ip it doesnt let me, please help.
