Minecraft server hosting help
Rugged:
I just forwarded port 25565, and I loaded up my server.
I went to www.whatismyip.org, and it told me 96.254.107.66
I tried to connect to that, and it said "Failed to connect to the server. Connection refused: connect"
I added :25565 to the end, same problem.
I tried connecting to 127.0.0.1, and my server list says it's up but I can't connect because "Took too long to log in."
Any help?

Are you hosting on port 25565?
Have you set up a static IP on your computer?
Is the port forwarded to the right IP?

Have you set up a static IP on your computer? No, how do I do that?
Is the port forwarded to the right IP? I would assume, unless the above question conflicts with that.

any http://www.portforward.com tutorial should include a part to set up a static ip on whatever router it is you choose
Rugged:
I port forwarded 25565 myself, with the Verizon guide for my router.
