I am having a similar problem as 68ant has posted. I also lose connection instantly upon attempting to connect to my server, but I do not recieve an error message in my cmd.exe client. I am running Java7. I verified that my port is open and port forwarding is configured. My server.properties file looks like this:
My RUN.bat file contains this:
(My .jar file matches the one here and I gave the RUN.bat file the correct destination for my java folder)
@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit-1.1-R6-20120301.142116-2.jar
PAUSE
I go to the multiplayer server list in the minecraft client and my server has connection. I am trying to connect and host the server from the same computer. I am using <My IPv4>:25565 for the server address. However when I click the 'Join Server' button my command promt receives this message (This is the major source of my confusion. IDK what this address is. What do the ports mean?):
/69.163.149.200:54881 lost connection
Then the log in attempt times out and my command promt receives this message:
Disconnecting /192.168.2.4:50994: Took too long to log in

Is this problem related to the Minecraft servers? 1.2.4 released recently and I believe I am using the most up to date version of CraftBukkit.jar. I am having trouble understanding the problem because this is my first attempt at hosting a server. It's for my family. I'm trying to get this working using the method Bukkit presented on their wiki for starting a server. It is not a plugin related issue because my plugins directory is empty. What are we missing? I would prefer to use a bukkit server rather than the server file provided by minecraft.net so i can utilize plugins for ease of editing. Thanks. I will try again later to see if time or updates correct this problem as well as post here if anything changes.
EDIT:
I solved the problem I was having by using an updated version of the .jar file. I then corrected the name of the .jar file listed within my RUN.bat file. I can connect now without any problems. I had downloaded a "recommended build" from the bukkit site but it wasn't the latest version available.
@68ant:
There could be a couple things or just one causing your error. To troubleshoot, make sure java is up to date. Then you should check your file paths. The minecraft.net/download page has this to say:
If you want to run the server on any other OS or without GUI it's a bit more involved (see this wiki article for a tutorial). First make sure you can use java from the command line. On Linux and Mac OS X this should already be set up but on Windows you might have to tinker with the PATH environment variable. Download and run minecraft_server.jar (621 KB) with java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui.
You can try deleting your .jar file and start up the .exe file. This might recreate the .jar file with an updated version. Pay a visit to the wiki link from the minecraft download page if you still need help. Hope this works for you!
