My Minecraft server has worked fine in the past, but it's having issues now that it's running the 1.8 pre-release. I can get on it just fine, however one of my friends got on for awhile, but now he can't get on it. He said he is getting a "failed to connect to server" message. The server has never done this. Has this been happening to anybody else? Is it a problem on my end or his end?

its a problem on his end
tell him to close out of minecraft then get back on
somtimes that helps
the problem is that the server isnt online. are you port forwarding the server?
if not then just use hamachi for a free port forwarding.
he needs the IP then :25565 as the port after the IP (if you havent changed the port)
if you bought a server, make sure you update the whole server client to the 1.8
and if you really did all of this, and you just make a simple mistake are you both on version 1.8pr AND the server is 1.8?

I'm pretty sure the server is online. I'm port forwarding and I've done it correctly. Yes I've got the 1.8pr downloaded and correctly installed for single and multiplayer and he's got 1.8pr downloaded as well. He might not be typing xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:25565, although I believe he's smart enough to do so. If he is and it isn't working for him, any other ideas?
