    I have black shadow's same problem.

    1) Yes
    2) Yes
    3) Yes
    4) Yes

    My friend's computer only says "Unable to reach server". I was thinking it could be a firewall issue not allowing hamachi to communicate properly?

    EDIT: Turned off firewall, problem persisted. Checked the port, port 25565 on Hamachi's IP isn't open. What can I do about that?

    I've followed all the steps here for port-forwarding but it doesn't seem to work !
     
  5. I know how to port forward and I've done it successsfully but I run my Bukkit server and it automatically goes to my hamachi IP. When people who don't have my hamachi try to join using my current IP address it says they can't reach the server. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

    it goes to your hamachi ip if you've entered that ip into your server.properties. open it up, and make sure "server-ip" is blank.
     
  7. I left it blank i don't know how to fix it!

    I never knew so many people couldn't use their ip. Because you portforward minecraft through your router. Which is way easier. In my opinion.

  15. Thanks! I have wanted to set up a server for a club at school, based at my home. It was a bit difficult to set up but worth it! Now my friends can join my world wherever they are.

    you should be trying to connect using "localhost", "localhost:25565" or "127.0.0.1"

    Your friends should be able to connect using your IP from IPChicken, but keep in mind that it changes frequently. They may also need to add ":25565" to the end of the IP, sometimes this fixes it.
    One problem could be that your firewall isn't letting Java through. Try disabling your firewall, and see if your friends can connect then. If they can, make sure you re-enable your firewall, and then go through and make an exception in it for Java.
    If it still doesn't work, it may be that you haven't set up port-forwarding correctly, or even that your internal IP has changed as well (this also happens, routers use something called Dynamic Host Connection Protocol to give every computer that tries to connect a new IP (happens when you restart your computer). Type in "ipconfig" in command prompt to see if your IP has changed since when you set it up.

    Try these steps, and come back if it doesn't work. We'll see what can be done.
    Good luck :)
