Games : Problem setting up a 1.8.3 Minecraft server

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this or I've overlooked something obvious, but I'm having some trouble getting a new server up and running.


It's a vanilla 1.8.3 server - ironically enough chosen as I thought it would be simpler with the current situation with Bukkit. I've tried all this with both the exe and the jar version. It's running on a Windows Server 2012 VM (hosted on a VMWare ESX server if that makes any difference). It has 6GB of RAM and I'm running JRE7u76. I have accepted the EULA, and the server is running without errors according to the logs.


The clients are running 1.8.3 as well, and can successfully ping the server by name. I've added server connections in the clients by machine name and IP, both with and without the 25565 port number added on.


I've added explicit firewall rules for 25565 for TCP and UDP, on the server and the clients.


They all just time out, and the server doesn't log any kind of error or failed logon attempt at all.


I'm basically out of ideas.. anyone?!
