[/B][I]the server terminated the connection strangely (eg power outage)

[/I][B]NoRouteToHost

[/I][B]Connection Lost : Timed Out
[I]there are 2 versions of this:

After Logging In screen - Minecraft.net is down

Before Logging In screen - Ports havent been forwarded correctly
[/I][/B]
[B]Bad Login
[/B][I]Minecraft.net is broken OR your using the new launcher (ie use the old one)

[/I][B]Illegal Stance
[/B][I]You either made it onto a fence, or crouched and used a bed

[/I][B]** 503 **
[/B][I]Means Minecraft.net's server redirection is down[/I]
[B]
Connection failed: connection refuse
[I]Your either:

Trying to connect to your own server - try not using the 192.xxx.x.xxx address

Trying to connect to a server whose port's havent been forwarded properly

Ditto but instead of ports, firewall

end of stream is not because mcnet is down :v:

also, there's Bad Login, Illegal Stance, Connection failed: connection refused, Not a Premium User.

And there's more to what you've listed.

end of stream is mcnet down

I used LogMeIn Hamachi.

It works just fine except the fact you have to get everyone you want on your server to download the program, and join the network. Nobody has been on my server, but I've been on servers with people using it.

Illegal stance results if you crouch and use a bed I believe

Means the server-redirection-thingie on minecraft.net is down.

[Eltro102]

whats end of stream then?

[Weiss]

End of stream seems like it means an unusual termination; something where there wasn't an actual error code or disconnect packet sent beforehand.

Connection failed: refused refers basically exclusively to the port not being forwarded or an incorrect firewall configuration; your connection reached the indicated IP address but they then refused it due to whatever issues they have.

Other things to note: If you're connecting to your own server and you're using a router, but it won't connect, try using localhost or 127.0.0.1 (or the local network IP if it's just another computer connected to the same router, this'd be a 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x address usually). Some routers will accept internal attempts to access the external IP and just redirect it like any other incoming traffic, others won't.

How do I fix this? It keeps saying I have low ram. Yet I'm sure 4 gigs of ddr2 ram is more then plenty.
