    Alright, so about more than half a year ago I owned a server. There was so much going on like drama and crap like that, so I lost interest in Minecraft.

    Anyways, here is the problem. I have deleted everything, and started fresh. I download the most recent jar and used this:
    Code:java
    1. java -Xmx3072M -jar craftbukkit-1.5.2-R1.0.jar -o true
    2. PAUSE
    as me run.bat. Since I un-portforwarded, I redid the portforward on my Netgear Genie. (regular 192.168.x.x) I have let the port 25565 through my windows firewall for UDP & TCP for In and the Out.

    The problem is, that my one of my two friends can't join. ( Yes, I know, I sound like a newb. ) It might be because my friend that can join is in my city, but my other friend is like 1-2 cities away. I've forgotten much of what I had known nine months ago. Can someone here on Bukkit help me fix this? :/ P.S. I am making my server a private server, for just my friends, not a public one.

    Things I have done:
    • Re Portforward many times
    • Delete the server & start again. (Many times)
    • Searched the internet for a solution
    • Follow many tutorials
    • Turn off my firewall
    • Re let through the ports through my firewall
    Thanks in advance,
    Sam

    I will be back in the morning so I can message back.

    Thanks

    What error message does your friend get when he tries to join?

    It says Can't Reach Server and when he tries to join it says Connection Error: Connect

    Make sure your friends are using the right IP
    Do you get any errors in the server whilst they try to join? Or when you start the server

    He showed me his screen and I saw that he is using the right IP
    No errors
    EDIT: When he joins it says Connection Error: Connect
    EDIT2: Here is my portforward setup. http://gyazo.com/863547de8919f907b6d1a1a7b47880d2

    Alright so I found the problem: My portforward isn't working. It says that the port isnt open so I guess I did it wrong. I have used many tutorials to try this out but none seem to be working.
    My internet is a:
    Netgear WNDR4300
    and my router firmware version is:
    V1.01.42.
    Please help!
