Nether Portals Not Teleporting To The Nether

[stu177]

Having an issue with nether portals on our Tekkit server, running Tekkit 1.2.8e currently.

 

When someone builds a nether portal and attempts to step through it, they get teleported to another nether portal in the over world, if they enter that one the same thing happens, teleported to another nether portal and so on.

 

Any ideas one what could be causing this?

[Gorian]

are they existing portals (I.E. both were put there by people, and not made upon enter one portal) and close together?

[ThePagan]

Is the nether enabled in system properties? I'm not sure how the portals behave if nether is disabled.

I'm pretty sure that disabling the Nether will stop the portal from forming altogether. If you still manage to step into one, you'll get the swirly effect, but never get teleported.
