    Hi there i just made a Bukkit server yesterday but none of my friend can't join my server only my brother. And yes we all bought the game. I already port forward my router and i turn off my windows firewall but my friend still can't join only my brother could. And i got comodo firewall. The error of my friends there getting is Server connection timed out. I give them my ip from cmyip.com and the port 25565 but they still can't join only my brother. how do i fix this? Thanks in advance :)

    In server.properties, there is a section that is something like:
    Code:
    server-ip=
    Are you running Windows? If so, open CMD and type ipconfig. What the IPv4 Address is, put that as your server-ip.

    Do you need the port in the server-ip=?

    No, because the server-ip is not your external IP, it's your internet IP, which you can get by typing ipconfig in CMD.

    However, I can connect to their server easily, with low lag even, it's strange -_-

    when you port forward you will have to have all these fields filled out
    External Port:25565
    Internal Port:25565
    Protocol: TCP #you will need to do this 2 times cause the Protocol needs to be TCP and UDP
    To IP Address: like mine is set to 192.168.1.10
    Enabled: make sure you check the box

    go here and get the ip http://www.whatsmyip.org/
    and the ip you see at the top of that page is the ip your friends need to connect with

    well you dont need to pay your internet company to give you a static ip you can make your ip static you self.

    i will see if i cant get a video up on how to do it

    I just set up a static ip but my friends still can't get in :(

    they get connection refused when they type my external ip:25565 and yes my firewall is off
    As you can see i already port forward

    1. Open CMD.
    2. Type ipconfig.
    3. Remember the IPv4 Address.
    4. For Server IP Adress in the Port Forwarding, use your IPv4 Address.
    Also, I would look up "How to Set a Static IP for <ROUTER> Windows Vista" on Google.

    yes they don't type in 25565
    go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/
    and at top of page it will say
    Your IP Address is #############
    and the numbers you find by that is the ip they use to connect to your server.

    if they still can't connect you can find me here on my teams ventrilo server
    Ip: 174.36.215.248
    Port: 7888

    and i would be glade to talk you or even show you how to get it working

    People are such durps. 25565 is the port. You aren't required to type it after the IP, because 25565 is the default port, so if you don't specify a port, it will assume the server runs on 25565.

    However, it's a good idea to get into the habit of typing in ports, just in case you run into a server that doesn't run on 25565.

    well there is something blocking it. took like 5 secs before it told me that it couldn't connect, so it shouldn't be that bad to get it working for your friends to be able to join
