I just correctly made a Minecraft server, and yes I'm positive I didn't miss a step. However, when I open my Minecraft Server on Java, and try to log in, the process to log in takes a [full] minute before it goes to a blank screen. Then I look on the Java screen and it says "Disconnecting (IP Address) Took to long to log in."

What might be causing the long login / timeout?

Did you just try the once, or did you start from scratch and try again? – Wipqozn Jun 6 '11 at 19:58
Remaking the server? No I haven't. Should I? I'm afraid the same things just going to happen... D: – Maddie Jun 6 '11 at 20:00
You should remake the server, and mark off the steps you do as you do them. That way you can be positive you've done all the steps. – Wipqozn Jun 6 '11 at 20:01

Do you have a firewall (software or otherwise)? What's your client/server network setup? – Matthew Read Jun 6 '11 at 20:02

My java version is 1.6.0_24, I would recommend you update to rule out this possibility. You can download the latest version @ java.com/en – House Jun 6 '11 at 21:57

You have to troubleshoot this way :

  1. Is the server running? Check in he console (should be easy)
  2. Can you connect a minecraft client running on the server with 127.0.0.1:yourMinecraftPort
  3. Can you connect to your server from the LAN? (Check firewall if you can't)
  4. Is you router behind a NATing router? If yes do you made port redirection for yourMinecraftPort? If yes try to connect from the internet.
