    I properly forwarded my ports, and can now connect from my other computers, using the server ip. My friends can't connect to the server though. Any idea why?

    I'm using latest bukkit, with only a few plugins, Windows 7 64bit, and have tried both minecraft 1.3 and 1.4. In fact, they couldn't connect to a vanilla server either.

    Ok, what is your ip?
    could you paste you server.properties file and how are you running your server?
    However, im assuming you are using your internal ip.

    ip: 192.168.0.71

    Code:
    #Minecraft server properties
    #Thu Mar 31 18:19:27 PDT 2011
    level-name=world
    hellworld=false
    spawn-monsters=true
    online-mode=true
    spawn-animals=true
    max-players=20
    server-ip=
    pvp=true
    level-seed=
    server-port=25565
    white-list=false
    spawn-protection=16
    
    I'm not using any extra software to run the server, if that's what you meant. Is there something more that I should download?

    okay, I've got the right IP now... but can't connect to it.

    I also tried putting it in under the server-ip= part of the server.properties file, and now I can't start the server. It says failed to bind to port. (And I made sure there are no other Java processes running.)

    use run - cmd - ipconfig, use your IPV4 or IPV6 or IPVwhatever IP there, put that onto the server-ip=, Now then, go to www.whatismyip.com, give that to all your friends. Give them YourExternalIp:25565, then for you to connect use your internal IP (ipconfig IP).

    Let me rephrase that into an easier way to understand.

    1. Go to Start. Type in CMD if you're on Vista or Windows 7, if you're on XP or what not hit run and type in CMD.
    2. in CMD type in ipconfig, it should give you IPv4 or IPv6 or what not, use that IP and put it into your Server.Properties file under Server-ip=.
    3. Go to www.whatismyip.com, get your IP. Give your IP and port to your friends, Example: www.whatismyip.comIP:25565, or as another example, 2.2.2.2:25565.
    4. To log into your actual server use your IPv4 or IPv6 or IPvWhatever.

    Okay. I followed that exactly... and the server is running again, but my friend still can't connect. Could it be something on his end?

    He says he's connected to plenty of other servers no problem, as have I.

    It can't be his end if he can connect to others already...to check open port on your server pc, have server running, then from same pc open browser and go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and enter only your 25565 port number, then hit the Check button. If it says Successful in green, your ports are open for outside people to connect to you. If it says Error in red, then your 25565 port still appears as closed to the outside world, hence why friend can't connect. This might mean either router settings aren't correctly configured for portforward, or some firewall/antivirus can possibly still be blocking that port on that pc.

    Should 25565 be forwarded on UDP, TCP or both?

    Ah, I finally got it. I think I had a lot of other problems, that you guys helped fix as well, so thank you... unfortunately... I just put the IP for the wrong computer in when I forwarded the port. D: Simple fix. lol

    @Exciya
    I have it set to TCP.
