I set-up a server (plain vanilla MC server) to run on my gaming machine for just my son and myself. I am running Win 7 Ult 64, have 8GB ram and i7 processor and a SSD primary HDD. There server is up and running, my son can login and play, but when I try to log into the game, running on my machine, I login to the game, my son says my avatar appears then it disappears. The server shows me trying to login, then it shows me disconnected for a generic reason. Any help from the gods would be nice.
Have you tried logging in with "localhost" (without the quotes) instead of using your internal IP or external IP? Also, what errors are shown in the console?
I've tried localhost sans quotes. The message I get is;

Thanks,

Also, my minecraft closes out when the connection fails, I have to restart it everytime.
Try doing a forced update on your client. At the log in screen, you should see an button called "Options" and you'll see a "Force Update!" button. Click that and then log in normally
Thanks,
