I downloaded the server software and ran the .bat file. It said that:

     18:37:25  Setting up
     18:37:25  Loading level
     18:37:25  Now accepting input on 25565
     18:37:26  Level saved! Load: 0/16
     18:37:26  To connect directly to this server, surf to: http://www.minecraft
.net/play.jsp?server=5d3e59d58fdfd183f123b475a3751769
     18:37:26  (This is also in externalurl.txt)

When I tried to load the server it said that it failed to connect to the server. It also said that the server might be down. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

P.S.

I also don't know how to do the port-forwarding thing. Please tell me how to do that too.

The port-forwarding thing

The port-forwarding thing /is/ what's wrong. Your NAT doesn't know which computer behind it to send the packets to, so it just throws them out.

Also, please use google next time, first result is a site with instructions for most routers: portforward.net
