    Removing the server-ip feild leaves it public, trust me.
    Ive run a server like this for two years. just set it to blank and start the server.

    In the server.properties file, the only reason the server-ip needs to be filled in is if the computer has two or more internal IP addresses (Which 95% + of computers don't).

    Leave it blank, the router automatically sends the players to the computer with the server.

    Your internal or External?
    All you need to worry about is your external (For others to connect), leave the server-ip blank, start the server, and give the players you external IP (and sometimes the port)

    your IP will be your IP, or do you think that bukkit changes your real IP address? :) The option only tells minecraft which IP to use, it uses *all* of them by default.

    That will give you the ip adress the users need to use to connect.

    Then you haven't port forwarded correctly, or have missed a step, have you opened the ports in your firewall?

    Simple put, something is blocking incoming connections to the server.
    Do you/Have you;
    1) Have a 3rd party firewall/anti virus (AVG, Kaspersky, BitDefender)?
    2) Have a modem and router, or just a modem?
    3) Double checked the port forwarding is right/IP is right. You more than likely have a dynamic IP which causing your computers IP to change at times when it's turned on.

    Just a thought, but maybe something has gone wrong when port forwarding between the modem and router. Try something like this;
    Internet > Modem (All ports open) > Router (Choose which ports are open) > Server

    If that makes sense...

    Also, do you have TeamViewer? It might make things a little easier to do.

    Using hamachi for a public server isnt recommended, either get a server on 24/7 with port forwarding, buy hosting, Or Dont bother. Hamachi Hostin for big public servers aint good less you pay hamachi for more slots

    Add your internal ip to server ip in server.properties then wait 5 minutes start server again and only use stop in the console to stop server. Connect using external ip

    Solution:
    1)go to cmd and type in "ipconfig"
    2) go to IPv4 address and what ever it is, copy it.
    3)go to your server.properties and type the IP on the server-ip: line.
    4)run your server, and it should work!

    Hope this helps!

    Ok, if you have a modem and router, try portforwarding a lower port (180) and then in server.properties change port to 180. When people join your server, the ip will be <external ip>:180 ex: 68.68.201.213:180
    Sometimes a router can't open high ports... Try, if not, I can't help you ;)
