i get a message that says "recevied string lenth longer then maximum alowded (204>100)" help!

I'm not sure of that specific error, but because we use bukkit and it takes awhile to get updated and stable, we are still using 1.7.3 for the server, if you have updated your client you will need to downgrade to get on. See this thread for a line to the 1.7.3 minecraft.jar

You can simply download that, rename the minecraft.jar in your install folder (%appdata%\roaming for windows 7 ) to something like minecraft.jar.bk and place the downloaded one in the /bin folder where the old one was. (I'd back up any saved offline worlds before you do this) It should let you on just fine. In the event minecraft updates (every few logons for me) simply repeat the process with the ,jar you got from cartmans link

ye im still on 1.7.3, i got on 3 times but disconnected 2 seconds later....

Yes I'm seeing that, is it giving an error or any reason when it disconnects? Are you using windows 7 64 bit? If you are using a 64bit OS try getting the 64bit java (probably have to google for it) as it fixed my crashes instantly

btw ur 1.7.3 link just brings u to a post on how to install it, not the dl link and ye ill try updateing java

wrong thread, editing link to actually show the right one

updated my java to 64bit windows 7 (cuz thats what i have) and i even replaced my minecraft.jar with the one in the thread and its still not working but i had this once before and it worked 4 hours later so, itll probaly just go away, thanks for the help

yeah i dunno it's strange though sometimes even i get random "end of stream" errors, i'm on the server fine right now so I don't know what gives

Loading up your player file stored on the server works for me, so that isn't corrupted, it might be either some problem with your internet connection or some driver problem with the networking drivers on your OS.
