Can't Join CraftBukkit Server

I normally use the SimpleServer wrapper and I had just transitioned to Bukkit about two days ago. I could launch the server without any errors but the main problem is that none of my friends (and even myself!) can connect to the server. People used to be able to connect but after I updated to the latest build no one can. All it says in Minecraft is "Connecting to the Server" It doesn't say anything in the terminal, no connections from any IP.

 

Same problem here. It's becouse of official update or it's our problem?

 

That'll be the fact that the Authentication Server is having issues.
It's affecting most of us.

It's just taken me half an hour to log in to my server.

 

It's still going on even today, my other wrapper is doing fine but CraftBukkit doesn't seem to be able to let anyone connect.

 

Last night when I clicked log in I would get "Logging In"
Now all I get is "connecting to server" like I would if the server did not exist.
This has to be the 1.2_02 update...
Or could it be minecraft.net authentication?

I hate setbacks...

 

I have the exact same problem! maybe anyone can help?

 

It was a firewall error...
All fixed!
