Connection Refused: connect

My Router is a Netgear DG834GTB and I have the 25565 port open, but when I try to connect with my external IP or my dyndns domain I get this error:

When I try to connect to localhost I can connect, but when I use my external IP or my dyndns adress it failed. In my server-properities I try

Code:

server-ip=127.0.0.1

and

Code:

server-ip=

By this value the server log doesn't show any errors but then the error Connection refused came.
When I try

Code:

server-ip=95.33.***.***

or

Code:

server-ip=loll*************.***

I get this error:
2011-04-16 18:14:29 [INFO] Starting Minecraft server on loll************.***:25565
2011-04-16 18:14:29 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
2011-04-16 18:14:29 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind
2011-04-16 18:14:29 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?
Here my Firewall Settings (Router based, Windows Firewall is completly off):

And here the Port testing:

Here my DynDNS Updater Window:

- Also I tried to use other ports, but there come the same error.
- Also I tried to kill the java.exe process, but it doesn't help by the next server start

Keep your server-ip blank.

server-ip=

Restart server. Connect to localhost.

 

And you really restarted the server?

I've heard people on MCF telling me that they cannot have both client and server running at same time.

 

it looks as though the port isn't releasing when you shut your server down, are you using the stop comand? or are you just closing the console?
try shutting down your computer, unplug it, and press the power button a few time to clear the capacitors, plug it back in and start it back up.
DO NOT try to connect from localhost yet. I have see ppl run into problems with that.
Then run cmd and type ipconfig (if its windows) and make sure your internal ip address (192.168.*.*) hasn't changed and try to connect to it from another computer in the local network using 192.168.0.215 (or if it has changed , what ever you new internal ip is. if you can connect from another computer, connect from localhost. and then try from other computer again.

 

Ok, my IP is static and I can connect to 192.168.0.215 from another pc in the network, but with the other pc I cannot connect to my dyndns or my external IP (DynDNS: Connection refused, External IP: Nothing)

 

ok cool, are you still getting "FAILED TO BIND TO PORT" at all, like if you connect at localhost then try to connect from other internal computer?
I'm pretty sure that you just need to get your router configured correctly for portforwarding and you will be good.

still getting this?

 

usually, if you put something into server_ip =, you will generally get FAILED TO BIND TO PORT.
i have yet to see anyone benefit from having that filled in, even if it doesn't cause the issue.

SO LEAVE IT BLANK

if it doesn't work when it is blank, then you have some other problem, which needs to be resolved.

you need to make sure your router has an entry for tcp/udp pointing to your internal address (192...)
you need to have your friends use the external address
you need to have firewall entries for upd/tcp in and out
you need to make sure you do not have firewall entries for java

 

Ok, when I connect on my Server to localhost it works and when I try to connect with an other PC in the network at the same time to 192.168.0.215 it works too (So, you see there is no firewall on my PC). The "Failed to bind port" error comes only when I do that what mughi said I should not do and then I cannot connect to the Server.

 

you are sending mixed signals here:

you say it works from localhost, and it works from another machine on your network.

when it works like that, is there anything in server_ip or not?

if there is, then i'm confused, if not, then that makes sense, and the next question is, when does it not work?

it sounds like everything works except for external access.. in that case, the problem is in your ROUTER

you need to have a port open for 25565 (or whatever your server runs on) for tcp AND upd, going to your server's INTERNAL ADDRESS (192.168.0.215)

once that is set, have someone else try using your external IP ADDRESS first
if that doesn't work, dyndns never will.. then try dyndns name

from your screenshots (which have annoying popups btw), i see that you tested it at some point. I would still double check the settings. maybe your internal IP changed

No, actually and the time I tried, I don't have anything there.

ok it looks like your almost there!
go to this page and check that you have everything mentioned there done.
http://www.buildeasypc.com/blogs/port-forwarding-for-vnc-on-netgear-dg834-router/
also a lot of times you will need to have someone that is not in your lan try to connect. trying it from inside the lan doesn't work a lot.
pls post screen shots after you are done if it doesn't work.

 

look at the first post, there are screenshots about that what you posted there. I do it exactly as there.

 

sorry spending a lot of time woth google translate LOL
are you able to have someone try to connect from outside the lan? if you would like me to try send me private with your ip.
could you post a screen shot like this one for inbound and outbound pls.

 

Ok, can you come to the #bukkit irc channel?

Do you have two routers? To check goto Router Status and Look Under Port and Where It Says IP It Shouldnt Have 192.168.x.xx

Picture:


If it has a different Ip than 192.168.x.xx then click connection status and it should look like this:

and copy your gateway and enter it into your url bar.

Then log into that router and goto your port forwarding page and port forward the ports or just DMZ it and it should work. I had the same problem as you and this fixed it!

 

The problem is solved, a friend can connect to my external ip, i not.
