Connection problems

[Taco_Dan]

I can't connect to my new Tekkit server, nor can anyone else. Not sure why. I've run a Bukkit server before, and people could connect just fine. I've port forwarded and everything, and it's just not working, everyone gets timed out every time, including myself.

To clarify some things, I can now connect to my Tekkit server, however, other people still cannot. MY problem was that I had 3.0.0 installed instead of 2.1.1. I still don't know why nobody else can connect, I've told them to downgrade and it's still not working. Apparently they're getting timed out, whereas I was just getting "connection refused".

it's probably them not knowing how to set up their tekkit clients correctly. Either a java issue, the 2.1.1 needs java 7, or they aren't allocating enough ram to their game. It could also be them still choosing 3.0.0 tekkit and not knowing they need 2.1.1 in order to connect.
