Try to install the latest recommended build of Bukkit or the Vanillia.

Then try to catch your ip, then make an dyndns ip so it will be the same.

Things that may crash it could be plugins, or the portforwarding.

Do to the CMD, type in:
Ipconfig

Search for an error, it could be Hamachi, if your Gateway, standard Gateway will be repeted, thenn u got the error.
Delete that error program (Will stand over the repeted Gateway)

having a dynamic ip doesn't alter the port forwarding process, you will only need to change the ip needed to connect, use whatsmyip or something to find out your new ip, also pasting your server log to pastebin and linking it here would help out everyone with resolving your issue. if you still have problem it maybe that you router assigned a new LANIP to your pc happens if you have multiple network devices. you can give your server pc a static lanip use a number at the end of your routers assignment tables so it doesn't conflict with other devices. then port forward the new static lanip of the server. then find a dns service like dyndns and then if your isp changes your public ip you just need to update the dyndns info etc.... but yeah saying it doesn't "come on" and posting no logs or events or errors occurred is like telling a mechanic that your car doesn't work and not leaving a key to work on it, then asking for it to be fixed.

From time to time, your IP changes. This happens a lot to me, all you have to do is re-port-forward!

Plugins that use the Permissions plugin require you set up the permissions plugin for use of your plugins.

Nononononononono. Take the IP out of the properties file. That is what is messing you up. You almost always leave this blank.

That's for if you have an open router, his problem is he doesn't and needs to set a static ip, then set his server to his new static local ip to avoid it messing with any extra networking devices he may have like hamachi and connecting like that instead.


You still don't put the IP in the server.properties file. That is for if you have multiple IP addresses pointing at the same machine (multi-homed) and I know he doesn't have that. Leave the "server-ip:" field blank in your server.properties file and that *might* fix the problem.

If he has hamachi or another VPN program he requires it.

You never put the ip in the 'server-ip=' field. That will stop your server from working.

Has he said that he doesn't even possess the programs? If he does the empty field may cause the server to use the virtual ip from the possessed VPN program.

Notch/Jeb recently updated the servers. Your one is probebly outdated int he sense people get a invalid server key when they join
Also make sure you haven't set it to local

SelkiaGo to your start bar And type "CMD" In that,type "ipconfig" And scroll up :geek:

A little late with your telling him to look at his ip, we've told him already and I'm going on about how he needs a static ip and to port forward his minecraft server's port for that static ip.

The portforward website has a tool, then once you have your static ip, portforward that or set your static ip to the already-forwarded one to save time.

You don't port-forward IPs. You port-forward ports.

You forward the ports FOR certain ips only unless you have an open router, at which point you don't need to port forward at all..

The log seems normal...try connecting again using the ip found at http://whatsmyip.org/ and make sure you have the right port. If you get "Connection refused: connect" or something similar, then your port is not forwarded anymore. Then try connecting using "localhost" (without the quotes) as your IP. If you can connect, that confirms that the port is unforwarded. If you can't connect using localhost, that indicates a deeper problem with your server.

Commando, it is trying to connect via an ip that is not yours. When it does that it gives the error "CANNOT BIND TO PORT" and fails to come on. I had that problem for a while then set a static ip. SET A STATIC IP AND YOUR SERVER WILL TURN ON KK?

Actually, go to http://www.pastebin.com/ and paste your log there. It won't get cut off then. Make sure you copy the whole thing. Then post the URL to it here.

Turn your server on, go to http://whatsmyip.org/ and try connecting using the IP at the top of the page. Also, it looks as if your log may have been cut off at the end. Try posting just between the last time you started it and the last time you stopped it.

No, that is a bad idea, the server needs to be hooked up through your local ip, which is held on your system and then people connect via the public.

Can you tell me why this is a bad idea? If he can connect using that IP, it means his problem is solved. If he can't, that means that nobody can. I do this all the time when verifying my server. Also commando, do you have a firewall on the computer your server is running on? Make sure that the port is open on the computer and any routers it is connected to.

and for some reason its like the server is not connecting 2 the server if that makes any since bc when i cant connect it will tell me stuff on the server log but now it wont tell me anything

it would say [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?
