I downloaded Tekkit 3.1.1 Server and it opened fine, no problems there. The problem lies within Tekkit itself. I upgraded to 3.1.1 (latest) and it opens fine, again no problems, in the splash screen it shows that FML, Forge, and Optifine loaded and underneath that it shows that 4 mods loaded. I then tried to connect to the server and I received:
The server requires the following mods:
mod IC2 v1.95
...etc
I don't know what I did wrong, I reinstalled the technic launcher, deleted the tekkit folder, reinstalled tekkit.
I can't find anything that relates to the problems.
