I just downloaded World of Minecraft...I am trying to connect to my friends server, but when I just put in the address it does not work.

I run World of Minecraft.
Enter my Minecraft credentials.  World of Minecraft brings me to the server list page.
I enter my friends server in the URL section of the bottom, (in the form of htt:p//server.name.com) but I get the error:
Minecraft.net timed out while getting server details.
I cant figure out how to connect to his server (which I can do without World of Minecraft).
I looked through the forums but did not see any way to "register" a server.
Could someone please help?
Thanks!

Update:

EDIT:  I must have had a different string for the url when I got the "connecting" message, as now I get the message: "Error: Incomplete credentials in URL".
What is World of Minecraft looking for?
=====================

Ok - I figured out that I need to set the url as mc://server.name.com:12345 but all that happens is I get a screen that says "Connecting".

Does anything need to be done on the server side?
Thanks!

Try typing

Try typing www.minecraft.net/playe.jsp?ip=SERVERIP&port=SERVERPORT replacing the capital text with the servers details.  The port is usually 25565, but you said 12345.  That might be what is causing the problem if the server isn't at the 12345 port.

Making Progress!

Thanks, iFinity!  WHen I try that URL, I get a screen that says "connecting" for a half second, then I get a big screen that says "Disconnected!  You've lost connection to the server".

Is this due to something that is on the server side?  Do they need to enable something to allow me to connect with World of Minecraft?

I have the same problem.

I have the same problem. Can't connect to ether my friend's or my servers. Used the "www.minecraft.net/playe.jsp?ip=SERVERIP&port=SERVERPORT " url and no luck.

sorry

Sorry I misspelt the url.  It's 'play' not 'playe'.

As for the incomplete credentials, there's more to the direct connect url.  You need to type this and replace USERNAME with your Minecraft username and 12345 with the server port (if it isn't that):
The /1 part can be any number, I just chose 1 because its easier.
Use any method, it doesn't make a difference but direct connect is useful if you have no internet connection and the server is hosted on your computer.
