I know there are a lot of posts about the server program not working, and I looked through a lot of them before posting this. None of them seem to be having the same problem as I have...
I want to get my own MineCraft server up. I downloaded the program, ran everything, and it all worked great. I could get in, edit stuff, log out, back in, and its all still there. But then I asked a friend of mine to get on it too, and he said he could not connect. Looking around I found that I needed to port forward. I followed well over 10 guides on how to port forward, I made sure everything is good, and everything looked like how it should. Told my friends to try again, still no luck... So I downloaded "Simple Port Forwarding" and followed a guide on how to port forward using it. Everything should have gone correctly, but at the end when I can check to see if the port is now working I keep getting a message saying "Port 25565 is offline and can not be reached".
I'm stumped. I tried everything I could think of. I looked at Simple Port Forwarding's common problems page, and I tried most of the stuff that was on there, yet nothing helped. I even changed the settings of all my firewalls and turned them all off. Nothing seems to work. Any kind of help or advise would be awesome.
Btw, I'm not sure if this is related, but I also cant seem to get people to connect to my computer using Remote Assistance(I can still connect to others though). Could there be settings somewhere on my computer that blocks all incoming connections?
My computer is an Asus.
I have a Windows home premium.
Windows 7.
My anti-virus/firewall is Trend Micro.
64-bit.
Note:
When I told my friends to try I gave them the right link from the "externalurl" file. And I had the server's settings to public.

I tried to re-download the server software a few times, still no luck. I don't think this is an issue with the server's software, I think its just some settings somewhere that are hidden on windows 7.
Like I said above, I cant even get people to connect to me using Remote Assistance. Something is keeping the ports from turning on. What may be doing this is what I need help figuring out.

Do u got another computer?
i have win 7 but im editing it before i release so if i get to releaseing stage 2day and if i get that error i will tell u.
Off topic //
Btw i will join your server.
And do u know how to add commands?

This is the only computer I own, not the only one in the house though.
And no, I don't know how to add commands to the server. You would need to know Java and have a lot of patience/free time.

Did you buy and account for the simple port forwarding. I tried the program and after a few hours saw that it wont work without buying it. maybe thats just me. you'd be better off using hamachi my friend, much simpler

I have an Asus too, with Windows 7, etc. The server software is not compatible with the game software. If you look closely, the server software is 1.5_02, while the current game status is 1.5_01. Many people have this problem, but we will have to wait for Notch to fix it.
