Tell me about it...i et home and play this all night pretty much!
haha
I need to read up on the water traps, mine doesn't work correctly
Just had a try on your server. Connected fine but I have problems with MP, I tried a popular server called VanillaCraft and was having the same problem.
After 2-3 minutes I lose connection to the server and have to retry. The first time I played the other server I managed to go around 10-15 minutes then it lost connection, since then every time I try on any server the same thing happens after 2-3 minutes.
I don't know if there's a port forwarding issue on my side, there shouldn't be really as it's my machine making the connection. Could well just be NTL/UPC with their usual rubbish connection.
Woot! Just tried it on my gfs laptop and it works fine. Seems that what I had was a pretty common problem that depends on your Windows version and network card. I have W7 64bit on both but my box has a Atheros ethernet device and the laptop has a broadcom one.
I have been having the same trouble, though I'm using the onboard ethernet connection on my motherboard, have you a link to any thread etc with solutions / description of the problem? Guys I game with have a MP server but I cant stay connected long enough to do anything!
This one:

seems to be closest to what I was getting though my exact error was:
"Internal Exception: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed"
There are quite a few people with the same problem, hopefully the halloween update will fix it.

Yeah I don't know why I like it, but I do....
I don't see what the big deal is with Minecraft... if you wanted to create a level you might as well create one in a proper game where you can actually play a proper game within your level and receive recognition from other players who enjoy your work!

Why isn't Minecraft a proper game?
its not about creating a 'level' its just about BUILDING
the only real flaw in the game is that anyone can come in and start breaking up your work! so read-only or backing up is strongly advised if hosting your own server

I can sort of see where's he's coming from, because there's no real goal in Minecraft. You just sort of... well, live there. It's probably more like Second Life than a "normal" game, and I've never been tempted by anything like Second Life in the past.
I certainly can't explain why I find Minecraft so engrossing. Maybe it's just escapism in its purist form, and a lot of gaming (and movies and books and whatever) is about escapism.
And I definitely can't explain why just now -- after a very long journey back by sea and land from my latest expedition to nowhere -- I saw my tower of lights ahead, outlined against the sunrise, and thought: "Ah, I'm home!"

The server I have will have a whitelisted.txt file, this means if your not on the list your not coming in. To get on the list you will need to be a OcUK forum member & post your minecraft users name here on this thread. That way if anyone does start breaking up others work they will get a ban & also we will know there OcUK forum name.
You can not password a minecaft server I have been told, but then I think a whitelisted file is better as there is no password to be given away to people you don't know.
I am still working out how to add mods to the server it's not easy as minecraft does not 100% support multiplayer so I am having to se 3rd party admin mods to do the admin like Hey0's Admin mod. I can't even manually add a custom map with out asking my host to do it for me, but the good news iis a can't delete/wipe the map we have running & everyones hard work.
The server may go offline a few time a night at the moment that's down to me playing & trying to work things out if it does it would only be for 30 secs.
In multiplayer mode the monster do you no damage at the moment as it's still in the alpha stage, there is a mod that you can install that changes that but I am not going to add it.
I also get game crashes when I am trying to join the server sometimes but then as said it is alpha build, last time I played something in such a new buggy state was Counterstrike beta when we use to spawn in side oeach other & sit there for 10 mins while the round played oh happy days
