Just set up a server, want to see if I got it to work right, IP should be 192.168.0.103 (maybe 192.168.0.103:25565 ???) Thank you for your time and help!
That's your local IP. Go to whatismyip.com and give people the ip that you get there. Also, this belongs in the "Beta - Survival Servers > Looking For/Starting a Server" section.

Every time that someone on the support forums doesn't say anything after I tell them a possible solution, I assume that they are having too much fun enjoying their fixed Minecraft to reply.
You can't join because he gave you his local (network) IP. I redirected him to find a his public IP.

Oh, now it is support related... Terminal says (im on a mac) FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! and some other mumbo jumbo. any help?
Leave the IP area in the server.properties blank. Restart your server, and if it doesn't work and you're using a router for the internet go to portforward.com and follow the instructions there.

Same error message, when I was binding the port I used my IP from that website, did I have to use the local one?
When you forward the port, use your local IP.
When you want people to join your server, send them the one you got from the website.

are you trying to connect to your own server using that IP? Because it wont work, You need to use 127.0.0.1 for that.

Port forwarded port 25565. The IP address I entered was 75.158.171.68.
In Terminal I go cd (directory leading to server folder) java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
Everything seems to be all good when I start in terminal but it wont let me connect still :sad.gif: What did I do wrong?
EDIT: It let me in with 127.0.0.1 Anyone care to try 75.158.171.68:25565 now?
