Are you using a VPS?

If yes:
Linux or Windows?
What command are you using to run minecraft?
What version of Java do you have?

If not:
Try going to http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=<YOUR IP>&port=<SERVER PORT>.
You can find your ip for that url by going here.

1. Yes you need the latest version of Java.
2. You don't need any commands if your running the server from your computer.
6. Yes.
7. No, leave players.txt alone, that simply says who's on your server.
8. No, it looks fine.

Ok, here's a clear step by step tutorial.

1. Start the server by running start_server.bat.
2. Make sure no errors occur.
3. Minimize the window.
4. Open your browser and go to http://www.whatismyip.com.
5. Copy your IP address.
6. Insert your IP below. (Remove < and >.)
www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=<YOUR IP>&port=25565
7. Open the World of Minecraft client. Login. At the bottom of the server window, insert the url you just made above.
8. Click go.

If that still doesn't work, please clearly say the error you are experiencing.

Here are more detailed instructions.

1. Open your browser and go to http://www.whatismyip.com.
2. Copy the IP address it gives you.
3. Open notepad, paste that IP.
4. Copy the url below, paste it in notepad.
www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=YOURIP&port=25565
5. Copy the IP you got from the first site, and replace YOURIP in the url that you copied below, with your IP.
6. Copy the full new url, paste it into the url box of the World of Minecraft client, or navigate there using your browser.

Note: Your new url should look like the one below, but a different IP.
www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=87.231.162.72&port=25565

This might seem obvious but I gotta ask.

Are you running on a network with a router? Cause if so, you need to forward the selected port to the comp running the server.  Hope that might help.

Have you done port forwarding? If not no player can connect to your server!
