I have a server running on a Mac using Craftbukkit. Recently, my computer's graphics card had to be replaced; and ever since, my friends could not connect to the server. Only I can, using "localhost". When anybody else tries to connect, they get the following error message: "Failed to connect to the server java.net.SocketExecption: Network is unreachable".
Please help! Btw, I tried restarting the server, my wireless connection, and even my computer; yet still nothing works.
"Failed to connect to the server java.net.SocketExecption: Network is unreachable"
This strongly implies that the IP address they are trying to use is bogus.
A port forwarding problem would not manifest itself as a NETWORK unreachable.
This message means that an IP router somewhere is throwing up it's hands and saying "I have no idea where to send this"

The odd thing is that they have been using the same IP all the time, and only now am I getting this error. I got the IP to use off of IPChicken, and it is the same as always.
that error means the device where your packets are arriving is NOT LISTENING.
So.. either your server is not running, or you are using the wrong IP address to connect with, or your port forwarding is pointed at the wrong IP address.
This is not usually a firewall issue, as they usually just silently eat packets.

My server is running, I use the right IP, and I'm pretty sure my port forwarding is pointed at the correct IP address. Whenever I go on Verizon and port forward, it seems to work; yet when I go on canyouseeme.org and test port 25565, it also says connection refused. Man, is this annoying.
EDIT: Other computers in my LAN can connect to my server, but still not outside of my LAN.

Thank you so much!

My firewall says:
"Typical Security (Medium)
Inbound Policy: Reject.
Remote Administration settings will override the security inbound policy.
Outbound Policy: Accept."
And I know that something must be wrong, as I tried my external IP and internal IP.
EDIT: It turns out that my firewall was on too high of a security! Now it works!! Thx!
