Hello people, I've been trying to set up a server for my friends to join but I realized they couldn't join because my server was running my local IP. So i headed over to "IPchicken.com" and "Whatsmyip.com" and realized both ips were the same. So i typed in that IP in my server.properties (I run bukkit) and i get the error ****FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested adress: JUM_Bind. I'm a server noob so please help me! Kind regards: Deans789
Leave server-ip (in server.properties) empty, like this: server-ip= Once you have done that, start your server. If your server is on the same computer as minecraft: use LocalHost as IP If your server is on another computer inside your LAN (Home network) Use the internal IP as IP (in most cases the internal IP starts with 192.168) If your server is running outside your home, use the external IP
My localhost and LAN is fine at home. It's just I want friends to join and so when I use the external IP I get the error: ****FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested adress: JUM_Bind.
Sorry, my previous post wasn't really clear: Leave server-ip (in server.properties) empty, like this: server-ip= leave it always blanc! If you want to connect to a server, type the following IP in minecraft: If your server is on the same computer as minecraft: use LocalHost as IP If your server is on another computer inside your LAN (Home network) Use the internal IP as IP (in most cases the internal IP starts with 192.168) If your server is running outside your home, use the external IP
In your server.properties: server-ip= In Minecraft: You: Localhost (or internal IP) Friends: External IP
In server.properties, Leave the 'server-ip=' blank. Ex: server-ip= If your running the server and client on the same computer try using 127.0.0.1 as the IP to connect to (within the client)
Ok, I'll try this! It did not work... EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
I have the same problem. I've recently been using my Mac to host my server, portforwarding it manually and also changing my ip with No-Ip. Now though I want to make my server on my PC cause my mac is the School's 1 and macs r just 2 slow. However. When I have the Ip Blank like every1 says it results to my lan ip When I use my external ip: Cannot bind to port blah blah blah same error as other guy When I use my No-IP: Same thing I did the exact same thing as my Mac so why is it not working? Is it some reason not connecting the server 2 the internet? This is the only problem I can think of. That the server wont connect to the internet properly somehow.
