Hi everyone. I'm a noob and I've been trying to set up a MC server for myself and my son. I'm in a different state right now, and it's a great way for us to stay connected and play together. I put together a server using the MC server tutorial wiki and several youtube vids (I can provide links). I downloaded the server files13w36b (exe and java versions), set up my port forwarding, set up the java path in advanced system settings (running 64bit), created my .bat file that works (cmd window pops up and I get no errors, and the server loads perfectly). Then when I open MC and direct connect to localhost (or use an IP) I get the "Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.timeout.ReadTimeoutException" message (it can't connect to my server).
Minor update: When I try to connect to "localhost" via MC, the Java minecraft server recognizes it and relays the message in the loga and chat screen (x2 examples as I tried to connect twice): [ INFO ] /127.0.0.1:49500 lost connection [ INFO ] /127.0.0.1:49605 lost connection
I decided to include the IP addresses. Someone mentioned they are "vanilla" addys, although I have no idea what that means.
Here's an image of Minecraft actually recognizing my server, but not connecting to it http://tinyurl.com/k8j39w9
I'm running this on my laptop: Windows 8 Pro Processor: intel Core i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz Ram: 4GB System Type: 64 bit OS x64 based processor
I'm running MC 1.7.2 Paid account.
It looks like some of you have found solutions? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help, sorry if I'm just rehasing some obvious stuff here.
