Is that TS3 you're running working?
Wasn't running minecraft at the time, same thing is happening to TS though. Can't connect to it at all unless I'm using anything other than the pre-configured CentOS 6.0 and 6.2
The next thing that I would do is use "tcpdump" and "strace" to see what traffic is arriving and being sent, and whether the application itself is responding, when I try to connect.
I have to say thanks for all the help, but for whatever reason CentOS6.0+ is just being way too much of a hassle compared to a few months ago. Everything worked so perfect with 6.0 when I installed it. I'm going to switch to Ubuntu for now and see if I can get some work done. I'll try CentOS6+ again later down the road and if I can get it running smoothly I'll just move the files over.
Thanks for the awesome support though, been with NFO for quite some time now and I have to say, from past experiences of other GSPs you guys are MILES ahead of the competition.
@John, as I was posting this you posted. Like I said I'll go to Ubuntu for now, but I did watch for any sort of connection on the server while I was connecting with the client. Not even the slightest information was shown. So far what I've found from this is:
Loading a fresh pre-configuration of CentOS6.0-6.2 on my machine has to have the SSD reconfigured or it will not boot on the first restart. Also, the only apps that allow me to connect are VNC/SSH. Trying any other application such as Minecraft or Teamspeak it will not connect or even give the slightest signal that it's online.
Loading a fresh pre-configuration of CentOS5.6/Ubuntu 12 on my machine does not need reconfiguration of the SSD, it works just fine and be restarted without a problem. Teamspeak and Minecraft have no issues with allowing me to connect to the server.
Additional information:
On CentOS5.6 and Ubuntu 12, I'm getting a weird issue with essentials for bukkit. Using the same files (zipped them) across CentOS5.6, Ubuntu, my home PC (windows 7) and my windows vps from you (2008 R2) I'm getting an interesting message "[INFO] Failed to get local InetAddress for VMID." on the linux machines, for the 2008 R2 I don't get the error, and for my PC I don't get the error.
I tried just downloading a fresh bukkit jar and essentials, but even with a fresh install it gives the same message. I checked the error myself and it seems the creator of essentials stated that it's not a big deal (so it's not really a big issue for me anymore) but he stated it's because the DNS doesn't resolve properly. I hate un-needed clutter in the log, so I just wanted to know if there was a quick fix for something like that. Note, this is only happening on the Linux machines, the Windows machines are doing just with the files.
Other than that, I'm going to get a fresh copy of Ubuntu on this machine and see if I can get some work done tonight. Again, thanks for the awesome support. I'm more than willing to help test, so if anything else of me is needed just let me know.

If it's looking up the machine name, it might work to edit /etc/hosts and add an entry like this:
127.0.0.1 yourmachinename
.. but, I'm not certain, since this error is specific to that software.
Yep that fixed the problem =) It was still working fine, just looked odd when I loaded the server. I'm really picky when it comes to log files and such, I like to keep them as clean as possible. Thanks for all the help!
