Connection lost - end of stream, java 1.6

[Oxxy]

Ok, first up i have googled the hell out of this and trawled forums - no concrete answer.

If a client connects, on the LAN, over the net, or even on the same machine to the server, they get the good old "Connetion lost end of stream error"

I understand this issue is rampant on java 1.7? is that correct?

I also understand that tekkit wont work properly in 1.6 as it gets the "6 or more" error. At least that happened in both my main machines. I have turned Advanced Machines off in the ModLoader.cfg to remedy this.

Two different systems at two different locations have been tried, no one can connect to either server.

And i have removed and reinstalled java on both machines, ditto with Minecraft and the Technic pack

What am i doing wrong or missing here? Any help would be really appreciated, i am trying to spend some time with my daughter doing the Yogbox SMP thing, but its not much fun for her yet :(

Did it happen on a new map or an existing map ?

This happened on my private server once but it was due to the fact that my server couldn't handle an overflow of items on the ground from a automation one of the members made. Once the items were removed with MCedit it worked normally again.

Thanks for the reply darR3Ke

These are brand new everything, so new maps in my case(s)

Also tried on a third machine with java 1.7 again for the hell of it - same problem.....
