Server not appearing online for others
Hi there, I'm having a bit of a problem with my server.
When the new snapshot was released a friend and I played on the multiplayer to have some fun and get a glance at what is to come. After we were done playing, I shut down my server and switched it back to 1.5.2.
Here's where things start to go wrong, when I load up my server it says:
[INFO] Starting minecraft server version 1.5.2
[INFO] Loading properties
[INFO] Generating keypair
[INFO] Starting Minecraft server on *:25565
Before I loaded my server on the snapshot it would say:
[INFO] Starting Minecraft server on :<insert IP address>
I don't know why this has started happening, I'm able to log into my server through localhost but it doesn't come online for other players. I've portforwarded my server and double checked that it was on the right port and everything but it doesn't seem to come up for others. Can anyone help me with this?

I've spotted the error, you've not portforward your router. Minecraft will only listen to the port 25565 in your router, and if this port doesn't exist, it will listen to your local ipadress, and no one outside your locla network can join. How to portforward a router is different depending on your service host, but google it and you'll find an answer.
Tried that just now and that doesn't work. If I do that the log reads:
[INFO] Starting Minecraft server on <insert IP address>
[WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
[WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign address: JVM_Bind
[WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?
Which makes absolute no sense to me because this server I'm trying to put up is my only server.

If u want that, go into server.properties and add <inset IP address> (whatever ur address is) to serverip=
