Can't Reach Server
Hi, about a week ago I made a server with the default server software on the Minecraft website. Everything was working fine until earlier today when my friend tried to get on to play with me. He now gets the "Can't reach server" error message. I've tried to diagnose what is wrong via troubleshooting and in doing so have tried\figured out a few things:

-My external I.P did change, but I gave him the new one
-My port forwarding is correct. (I even tried different ports, no cigar.)
-I can connect to it internally (with 127.0.0.1 and from other computers on my LAN network.)
-I switched to Bukkit to see if that might help, everything still works normally for me but others still can't connect.
-My Java is up to date.

Nothing has changed except my external I.P and I gave him the new one. I even got another one of my friends to try and get on to see if it was just my first friend that was the problem and he couldn't connect either.

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit.
I use a cracked Minecraft, my friend uses a premium one and my other friend uses a cracked one.

Any idea on what to do?

Do you use something like no-ip?
Does your server see the connection request?
Your friends may try to connect to your server with a snapshot...
Does your server say something like failed to bind to port?

No I don't use No-IP, these are people I can trust I just give them my raw I.P.
If you mean does it show up in my console when they try to connect then no, it does not.
What do you mean a snapshot? (Sorry if I sound like a noob.)
And no it doesn't say failed to bind to port.

Mojang releases them to test out new features and to find&fix buggs... maybe your friends were testing them and forgot to force update? (but I don't think thats the case...)
Ah, no my friend didn't use that.

So, any idea on what to do? :S

PC + router restart?
:S
As a temporary solution you could both use Hamachi...

Got no more ideas atm...
I have restarted my PC a few times since this started happening, and I can't router restart because everyone else in my house will probably maul me to death. :S Thanks anyways though, I'll try to router restart but I don't see why that would be the issue, it was working fine before. :S

Hamachi would work even if he can't connect normally? Hmm....may be worth a try.

Yeah it should work. You just both need to download the program and join the same network

He's being an idiot.

"NO, I'LL NEVER USE HAMACHI!!!"
"I HAD IT ONCE, IT DIDN'T WORK AND I COULDN'T EVEN GET IT OFF!"

etc.

He's being a derp. >.> I wish this thing would just work, nothing changed except my external I.P and I gave him that. I have no idea why it just stopped working all of a sudden.

Like what? I can still call people on Skype and host things on Skype so my uploading is fine. :S

Edit: The fuck...? I tried that website you gave me and it told me this:

But the port is opened correctly. :S

Maybe the port isn't portforwarded to the right internal ip?
