WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BUKKIT SERVER?
Hey guys, I have a problem with my Bukkit Minecraft server. I want to be able to host a Bukkit server from my home Windows 7 PC. I have done this in a past, I used to have a successful server that I stopped running from home because I made it 24/7. However, I had to cancel my server, and now I just want to host a Bukkit server for my friends and I to have a free build with plugins like WorldEdit. Unfortunately, when I download the latest Bukkit (I believe it's 1.4.5 R0.2 or something) I have issues. the issues aren't the [Warning] in the console. When I try to connect to the server with my IP Address (which i get from my router home page!) I can't connect. Here's the weird part! When I use localhost as the IP, i can conncect. Also, I know I've port forwarded because, when I download a Vanilla Minecraft server, EVEN MY FRIENDS ON OTHER NETWORKS CAN CONNECT! So I'm very confused as to what is happening and would appreciate someone to help me solve this issue. Thanks,
Matthew

Can you write a more clear version of whats happening? A wall of text is hard to pick apart sometimes.
Is there an error code you can post?
I think this is a recent change related to 1.4.2, I have the EXACT same problem. I suggest that you connect over the lan, and everyone else (your friends) use your external ip, or your dns.
just tried it, didn't work.
1. Make sure YOU are connecting from internal IP, and your FRIENDS are connecting with external IP. (Use this site to check your ext. IP)
2. Make sure you typed that external IP in server.proporties. Rember, you will be only able to connect to localhost.
3. Remember, your external IP might change with time, or router reset. Go back to step 1 then.

I've been told not to type my IP in the server.properties. My friends are using the right IP address to.
Seems that you could have been told wrong then. I would try doing this.
