I'm having the exact same problem. I've downloaded the latest Bukkit build. I'm using Minecraft 1.2.3 and it works on the vanilla Minecraft server, just not the Bukkit server. I'm assuming the latest server file at minecraft.net is the one you referenced above.
do what he said. delete the latest build, and set up bukkit with 1.2.3 R0.1 (google it to find it) but dont do the first one that pops up because its not finished and iwll not run
If you want the exact link it is dl.bukkit.org and then you click on alternate versions. They update more than once a day because there are still alot of bugs.
I have the latest version from dl.bukkit.org, and that's giving me the error. Do I need a different minecraft_server.jar? Edited to say that I just figured out you were referring to a dev build, not a recommended build. It's working now.
Guys, to put it simply, your Minecraft version needs to match your server version. If you read the name of the build it says "bukkit-1.1" <---- that means your minecraft needs to be version 1.1 as well. You can't connect because your client is more updated than the server, i.e. you have packets that the server does not yet have. Solution: 1. Update your minecraft server to a build that says bukkit-1.2 or 2. Downgrade your minecraft by finding a minecraft.jar file of version 1.1 If you need a 1.1 jar, PM and I'll send you mine.
Um. No. I've seen this error before where it was a case that somebody's Username was too long. Try getting that guy to make his username shorter. (Like 10-20 characters).
ok its updated to the devbuild 1.2.3 but it still wont let anyone join but me. its getting annoying cuz it hasnt let pple join all week, and that is why i had to update in the first place my friend just tried to join and it tol him Failed to Connect to the Server Connection Timed out: Connect my friend just tried to join and it tol him Failed to Connect to the Server Connection Timed out: Connect EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
H8ER123 They have to be updated as well. Like, their Minecraft has to be version 1.2.3. And if they are, then it could be a port-forwarding issue. It could be that your IPv4 address has changed. Or that you have a firewall blocking connections.
well i have the port forwarded, but how would i check if i have a firewall blocking it? ik its a problem on my end cuz 5 pple have tried joining to no avail
H8ER123 Well there are a few reasons why they can't join. If you have an antivirus, then that could be blocking your ports. If you also have your system firewall enabled, that can block it. and there is a router security lock too. but that rarely affects it.
H8ER123 depending on you have to figure that out if its a program. if it's your computer firewall, you goto control panel and firewall setting i think. something like that. You have to toy around with your settings.
