also, I have redownloaded bukkit numerous times...

 

Moved thread to discussion and support.

 

thanks! I thought it was wrong...

 

did your firewall settings get reset when the server cycled?

client says connecting, server says NOTHING sounds like firewall. i'd start there.

for more help, i recommend answering the questions here[http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/you-need-help-we-need-this-information-to-help-you.2018/ ] (copy them and paste them into this thread)

 

um...I know I suck, but I had some firewall problems and I disabled it...roflmao

 

if this is windows 7, disabling it might not actually do what you think.. there is a way to put an entry in there for minecraft/java/craftbukkit...

also, many antivirus programs now include firewall crap.. might want to check that as well

 

thanks dude =) but are these things that electricity going boom could afect^?

 

depends on the symptoms...
powerloss can:

• lose unsaved configuration (computer, router, server)
• corrupt worlds (doesn't sound like it)
• destroy hardware (network cards, routers, jacks on cards/routers)

your symptom is no one can connect, and the server doesn't give any messages:
things to check

• server port setting (in server.properties) make sure it is the one you are trying to reach
• pinging the server
• connecting to the server from a machine on the same local network
• connecting to the server from a client ON the server
• lots of other things in that thread i linked

beyond that, we are going to need info.. questions 1-4 on the help us help you page, as well as server.log file

 

First off, check your router - make sure the power spike didn't reset it to defaults.

But I'm guessing the power spike hit your NIC and fried it. Start with replacing that.

Software wise a power bump shouldn't have done anything. Follow mughi's advice, its sound.

 

obviously, make sure it is actually broken first
(can you get OUT from the server? www.google.com)
(can you get into the server? ping serverip)

 

Never confirm any hardware failures. Always replace random things until you find where the problem lies.

Seriously though, I agree. I edited my post to suggest following your advice as it was sound (but not before you clicked reply it seems).

 

I didn't know you worked w/ Dr. House

 

Its never lupus.

 

when I ping my server it times out...same as when I try to connect through mc...My NIC isn't fried...rofl... and atm I can't really go check out if my port forwarding got screwed up, but if it did wouldn't it give me connection refused when I tried to connect to it??

can't connect on a computer from the same network...
testing if I can connect from the same pc it's being hosted in

 

Try using localhost or 127.0.0.1 to connect if your doing it from the same machine, if that works then you know it is a firewall/port problem.

 

I will pez

 

well, I formated my computer, re-did the port forwarding and whada ya know it works now! kinda laggish though... But thinks for your help everyone!
