Well, I just started a new bukkit server and did all my port forwarding and what not but when I try to get on the server I can't connect and it says Connection reset /---.---.-.--:----- lost connection ( i changed the numbers to ---'s just in case) and the server log says this 2012-02-26 17:23:23 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version 1.1 2012-02-26 17:23:23 [INFO] Loading properties 2012-02-26 17:23:23 [INFO] Starting Minecraft server on *:25565 2012-02-26 17:23:23 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! 2012-02-26 17:23:23 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind 2012-02-26 17:23:23 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port? 2012-02-26 17:23:29 [SEVERE] java.lang.NullPointerException 2012-02-26 17:23:29 [SEVERE]at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.b(MinecraftServer.java:569) 2012-02-26 17:23:29 [SEVERE]at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:441) 2012-02-26 17:23:29 [SEVERE]at net.minecraft.server.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:465) 2012-02-26 17:23:29 [SEVERE] Unexpected exception java.lang.NullPointerException at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.b(MinecraftServer.java:569) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:441) at net.minecraft.server.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:465) and that does not look good Nobody knows?

You did not forward port 25565 correctly. Tell me what router you are using please. Oops I see that other line...What else is using port 25565? You can have only one server running on that port. If its still in use try port 25566.
I believe you need to specify the ip in the server.properties file. However in some cases the server.properties file may not need the ip address so try both ways.
You have the failed to bind port error. Stop your minecraft server and make sure you have no instances running. Make sure you have your server-ip= blank (in server.properties). If that fails, reboot.
Ok so I restarted from scratch and redid EVERYTHING and now when I try to get on it still says Connection reset /---.---.-.--:----- lost connection though I don't have those other errors in the server log anymore fuck I'm stupid I was just using the wrong ip...
