 Description   

Hello because I have been playing Minecraft for a long time I decided to make a BUKKIT server I set up all the files correctly and have some plugins:

I invited 1 of my friends to join and gave him the IP he said it said "unknown host" so I looked up about it and somebody said if your IP begins with "192" then the IP is local so only people in your network can use it by the way I don't use Hamachi or port forwarding I use µTorrent, anyway so the person said go to "whatsmyip.com" or something similar to that so I did and there was a different IP so I put that into my BUKKIT files in the "server.properties" where it said IP saved it and double clicked "run" then a couple of seconds later it said "FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! The exception was: java.net.BindExeption: Cannot assign requested address: bind, perhaps a server is already running on the port?" And then I tried to join my server and it said "unknown host" because before I changed the IP I could join it but now I cant even do that. I'm sorry this is long just im really stuck. PLEASE HELP me.

Any Suggestions?

do you forward the port 25565? if yes, send the server.propeties, if not forward the port 25565, if you need help search google how to forward a port on your router.

Failed to bind to port means that there is anotehr process using that port already.

For help setting up a server please use the forum.
