I'm having trouble connecting to my friend's Bukkit server. Every time I try to log in I get the message:

java.net.connectexception connection refused no further information

How can I fix this?

That usually means the server is offline
Or the port forwarding is not setup or not setup correctly


To setup port forwarding:



Make the name "minecraft" or sometin like dat.
Put 25565 in Internal port and External port
Set protocol to TCP

Last, set the internal ip of the computer that the server is hosted on. this would be like 192.168.1.xxx

look up on the internet on how to find the internal ip

(and dont forget to check the enabled box lol)
