I don't really tend to ask for help like this; I try to fix things myself first. But this is awful and irritating. I've seen topics about it before, but if anyone can help me out with my error, I would be incredibly grateful. I'm new to the forum, so hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. So:
I've long wanted to make a full server for me and some friends, off of Hamachi. Hamachi isn't an option for some of the people I play with, so I took the leap and port forwarded. i watched a couple YouTube tutorials, then did it pretty smoothly with few bumps along the way. I set up the server software and forwarding with a NetGear router with all updates installed. I have my server running on a desktop running Windows XP, all updated and stuff, but I'm playing on a 2010 MacBook. The PC is directly plugged into my router through a 250 mb Ethernet cable. I set it up last night (Fri. 13), and invited my friends to join. They did so, and it worked perfectly. That's right, I didn't screw it up right away. Everyone was on for almost 9 hours straight, then I packed up the server. The computer notified me that a Java update was available, so I installed it then shut down the computer and went to sleep. I woke up this morning and restarted the computer. I opened up Minecraft_Server.jar (same as last night), and it seemed to work perfectly. The HD hummed busily, and I sat down to play. But when I attempted to access the outside network (public IP), it gave me the following, verbatim message: "java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable". I've seen some posts that add a '...: connect" onto this, so I wanted to clarify that this wasn't there. By the way, I do have whitelist 'off'. I've also tried it with whitelist 'on' and my username added, and it still doesn't work. I have managed to narrow it down a bit, as if I type the IPv4 (LAN IP), it connects perfectly on my laptop. I have opened port 25565. I've also tried a total restart of everything along the line. I reinstalled the server software, which didn't work, but obviously that wasn't the problem because it wouldn't have worked with my laptop. I'm willing to provide literally any information about my configuration if it could help the brilliant wizards here solve my problem.
[EDIT]
Also, I forgot to mention this: I tried clearing my ARP cache and repairing my network. Once, I tried it, and it just said "connection refused," but now it's changed itself to same old, same old.
Also, there are tons of Guests lurking around here. Please join the forums and chip into my and other's problems!
[/EDIT]
Has anyone else ever had one of those obscure, insolvable problems to which references can only be found on a sketchy forum last posted to in 1999? That's the case with this. Refreshing new fixes would be massively appreciated. I'll try to keep this sort of updated.
Help! :sad.gif: I still can't get on, although now I'm getting "connection refused" again.
It has been 5 months since your last post but I'm having the same issue. It looks like it is an issue with the server side and how it attempts to communicate with your client. I suggest you contact the owner of the server so they can look into it.
