Cant connect to decicated server!

    Hope someone can help me out on this...
    I have had my own server before (Minecraft), and I understand about port forwarding, however when I use my local ip to connect to my own dedicated server it gives me the error:


    Connection Error


    Connector Closed.


    Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong? I simply just want to host my own server...


    Thanks
    :thumbsup:

    Ive been trying to find some people to play with so if you want to give me the ip we could play together using skype or ingame text chat
