Cannot join Bukkit Hamachi Server

Hey guys, me again. I live in the residence hall of my college of choice, and as such I do not have access to the router settings to port forward. Hamachi is the only option I have, but I seem to have the same problem that everyone else does with Bukkit: Hamachi doesn't work. Everyone who tries to log on (including me) gets the
"Log in took too long: connection timed out"
message after about 60 seconds of trying to log in.

tl;dr - I need to use Hamachi to host my Minecraft server. Hamachi doesn't work with Bukkit (probably). halpz.

 

You left server-ip= in the settings blank?

 

Yeah, I've left it blank, written in the IP address, and back again twice.

 

Then get this: http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/get/latest/craftbukkit-dev.jar

 

You are my hero.

 

It didn't work for me

I tried R01 R02 and R03. I tried with server-ip empty and filled with the hamachi ip. Running minecraft from the same computer as the server is running on = connect. Running it on a different computer = does not even appear online. Running Vanilla with any computer = connect.

Please help.

 

(form the pc the server is running on)
try to connect to "localhost" .... if that work ....

check(/turn off) the firewall on the pc

 

localhost works fine. If vanilla runs with firewall, shouldn't bukk... OH DUH. Stupid difference between minecraft.exe and minecraft,jar. Messed around with my firewall a bit, and here's the deets:


No one seems to be active for me to ask them to join the server. However, running R02 and R03 results in me being able to connect over localhost, hamachi IP from the same computer as the server computer, and with the hamachi IP from a computer on the same wifi network as the server (no bad comments on wifi server, please). I have no clue if this means I have succeeded or not, though. Will post once anyone checks if this works or not from a computer NOT on my wifi network.

IT WORKS!!! Thanks for giving me an "oh duh" moment about the firewall.

I know this thread is a month old but I have almost the exact same issue but i don't quite understand the solution. and i know a few people with similar issues. Could you explain how you solved the issue more specifically or perhaps easier to understand? I'm not helpless, just had this problem for a long time, this is the closest i got to finding a solution and i would like a bit more of an explanation/ directions. Thanks!
