I made a dedicated Minecraft server and I port-forwarded. But whenever I try to connect to my server (YES, with my external IP), it just tries to connect forever. Or if I add it to the list of servers, it says 'Polling' forever. Here is my config:

allow-nether=true
level-name=world
enable-query=false
allow-flight=false
server-port=25565
level-type=DEFAULT
enable-rcon=false
level-seed=
server-ip=
spawn-npcs=true
white-list=false
spawn-animals=true
online-mode=true
pvp=true
difficulty=1
gamemode=0
max-players=20
spawn-monsters=true
generate-structures=true
view-distance=10
motd=TheNonja's Minecraft Server! Play fair, have fun :)

And, my .bat server starter:

@ECHO OFF
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="64" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar "craftbukkit-1.1-R4.jar"
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="86"  java -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar "craftbukkit-1.1-R4.jar"
PAUSE

My server start up:

One strange thing to note, when I port-forward, my computer doesn't show up in the list of IPs. I just put it in since I know what it is. I have a static IP set up. It should show one called 'kroemerpc.'

I am running Windows XP, 32 bit.
Please help me

Connect with "localhost" or the host machine's local ip.

By that do you mean like if I opened a cmd and typed ipconfig /all, I would use the IP Address (192.168.0.174 for me)?

[AmberK]

Are you playing on the same computer you host with? If so, use "localhost". If not, then use the local ip (from the cmd) of the host machine.

Yes, the same computer. What do you mean by localhost?!

EDIT: Ohhh, do you mean type in localhost for the IP? Yeah, I tried that. Still just keeps trying to connect...

[AmberK]

For your ip, enter "localhost" without the quotes. Here's a list meaning the same thing for what you can enter:

127.0.0.1
localhost
0.0.0.0

Didn't work :'(

Bump?

[strontkever]

u should always be able to connect with localhost (if minecraft server is running on where u log in with the game)

but u could try to open windows firewall, and in the exceptions tab, add tcp port 25565

Well, for whatever reason I can't, it keeps saying its connecting...
I have firewall turned off.

EDIT: I tried it anyways and still, "Connecting to server..." forever

How? Sorry I'm a noob, you have to explain things to me ._.

i mean, get the server software from minecraft.net (original server software = vanilla)


https://s3.amazonaws...raft_Server.exe

Downloaded the file, put it in a new folder, ran it, launched Minecraft, joined localhost, and still, the same problem, connecting forever

EDIT: Whoa, got this weird error in the start up for the vanilla server:

i guess its you trying to connect, but fails

try to update java... im just guessing here, i really dont know

[themuddfamily]

Try getting a host. Its much easier for noobs I know a really good and cheap host pm me if you want it.

[AmberK]

That's either a corrupt jar or java. It's most typically seen with people modifying their server jar files, try downloading another one.

No, I'm not paying anything.
And AmberK, I forgot to mention that I'm running a bukkit server. But I did download the jar at the right place. I'll re download it though and edit this post once I've tried it. It'll be awhile, I'm going to a tennis tourney until like 2.

[AmberK]

Try uninstalling your current java, and use this: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

It's a slim chance it's the problem, but worth doing anyways.

[TheNonja]

Ugh! Reinstalled java and my .jar but I still can't connect to the server, in any way! >
