[INFO] Loading properties
[WARNING] server.properties does not exist
[INFO] Generating new properties file
[INFO] Starting Minecraft server on *:25565

spawn-npcs=true
pvp=true
allow-flight=false
spawn-animals=true
server-ip=192.168.1.106
server-port=25565
motd=A Minecraft Server

and i know that the 192.168.1.106 is correct

Me and my friend had this problem and this is how we fixed it: Completely delete the server and everything that it has, if u have saves back them up, download a completely new server file from Bukkit or minecraft.net what ever youre using, set it up normally and do everything like you usually do EXCEPT writing your ip where it says to, when u run the server for the first time it will automatically find the ip and write it down for you, but if you write it down manually you will get that error, hope I could help.

alright my last post was a little unclear, so do what i told you to in the last post but what I am trying to emphasize is that you DONT write your IP in the properties thing, and remember you have to do this with a fresh minecraft server file. like i said hope i could help.

open your "Command Prompt" and then type in "ipconfig" and view your ipv4 address, because i know for sure that is not the right ipv4 address

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::8025:a7f1:cfef:b505%12
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.6

You need to add your ipv4 address in where it says "server-ip"
