[TUTORIAL]Running a Server: Port-Forwarding, Hamachi...

Ok I installed Bukkit I have a world I already played on with my friends (without bukkit). Now since we want to have a /home /spawn and stuff I'm trying to get Bukkit to work. They are all in my Hamachi, they have the IP, I wrote the hamachi IP in server.properties, the world has the same name as my hamachi network, but only I can join. What could be the Problem? I have online mode = false and whitelist disabled :\

 

OMG I LUV U! DIS IS BOSS! EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY! I HATE IT WHEN TUTORIALS SAY "Don't forget to port forward!" BUT THIS ONE DIDN'T! THIS TAUGHT YOU HOW!!! U IS BOSS!

[EDIT] I will share my knowledge to others

leave the IP in server.properties blank. If u dont use bukkit u have to have the ip, but bukkit auto adds it in and it just messes it up if u put it in.

type in localhost when you are in minecraft multiplayer.

I have tried the Hamachi instructions. I can get on both through my IP and through the Hamachi IP, but my friend can't get in through Hamachi and When he tries my ip (127.0.0.1) it says something like "Connection Refused" I NEED HELP!

 

What if I dont have a router and I have a modem that connects me to the internet straight to my computer.

 

I use this but its only using about 400 mb ram making it lag so how do i have it load more ram

 

Mac osx?

mac osx?

I have less of a problem with Port forwarding and all of its nonsense but more with the actual server for some reason I can't run Essentials or even load Essentials plugins on my Craftbukkit I've tried using the Starter. BAT to open the blue cmd prompt and loaded only 3 of the Essential Jars in my pulgin folder I don't know why they won't start or load I've in read through the server load log to find the problem can you help me and my problem?

 

So when i open bukkit, fresh download, i have this

i portfowarded like you said and made a new rule and went through all the steps and when i get on my brothers computer and i type in my external ip adress with my port and just plain it says cant connect even though i let it threw and my server was started

 

this is my first server im making, i try to open server.properties but it says windows cant open this file? (sorry i know this is an idiotic question)

 

welp i have a cisco Linksys E1000 can i even port foward with this router?

 

I have the online mode false, my ip, the port is 25565, i open the server, i do everyting in craftbukkit and minecraft-server but when i enter in minecraft, i type my server and the ip in multiplayer, it said cant reach the server
please help!

 

can anyone help me when i run craftbukkit it just shuts it straight away what have i done wrong?

 

why i cant download

 

Hello Imminentfate!
I have an issue..
I have succesfully created a server that is running perfectly, but I can't play with my friends.
I know that if I want to go with Hamachi then my friends will have to download it too, but I would like to port forward, so that they will not have to download anything but just join my server. My problem is now that I don't know what my router is calling the setting I have to open and edit. I found the setting called "services" but it won't open, now i'm stucked :S
Hope you can help

 

Hey everyone, I have portforwarded and set up everything correctly but when I try to connect to my MC server, It gives me this:
Failed to connect to server
Connection refused: connect
Please help! Thank you in advance, haha!

By the way... I tried it using localhost and it worked fine... Help someone!

Can you tell me if this isn't an error or the solution to my problem. i appretiate your help.

EDIT: The problem was fixed My router wasnt out putting information

 

I have done everything right on my bukkit server im pretty sure of that but when i try to join my server via localhost it says ''Took too long to log in''
Anybody knows why?

 

hey, i am curious, can you make a tutorial for "D-link"? im on the firewall page, but it doesn't say shit all about allowing a port to go through.

 

I have installed the Bukkit Server program and also the Hamachi thing. I could connect to the server on my computer, but if anybody else try to connect it says "cant reach server" ??? What is the problem???

 

All works fine.. until I get the message when I try to log in. (With Hamachi, everything else has been done)
Connection Lost
The Server Responded with an invalid Server key
Edit: Changed Online Mode to false and i'm not getting that message any more, however, i'm now getting the message:
Disconnected by Server
Took too long to log in

 

You can also port forward if you do not have a router!

It's not called "port forwarding" but it does the same thing.

All you have to do is go to your firewall(windows has one but I think that you probably use a anti-virus that has one too)and add the port 25565 so this way it will not be blocked.I am pretty sure you can find more information if you search Google on "how to open port with xxxxx" where "xxxxx" is your anti-virus name.

Hope this helps you!

 

I STIL AHVE A PROBLEM PEOPLE CAN'T CONNECT FROM FAR AWAY WITH PORT FORWARDING
NEED HELP

 

help i can not activate my server it says server can not be reached how do i activate it.

 

Hello, So I've looked at almost every post so far and almost every solution and I just cannot find how to fix this. The server itself detects my friends trying to connect to the server yet on the server log it says
"Connection reset, "hisipadressort" lost connection" and on his computer all he see's is "Canno reach server" but when he tries to connect anyways it says "Connection timed out". Please help me fix this problem
