I'm positive I did it the correct way, but obviously something is missing. What did I do wrong?
I've been working on an online multiplayer server for some time now; but I am eluded at the fact that upon connecting to my own server(through direct connect) I receive a message saying that connection is refused with no further information. I typed into the direct connect my computer's IP address followed by the ":25565" as 25565 is the server port(as said in the server.properties file.)
You use localhost to connect to your own server. You do not need :25565. Remember you must not put anything in server-ip= in the properties. If you still get refused, your server is offline. The server needs to be running for it to work.

What is "localhost"?
I removed what I had in the server-ip properties line. It is now blank. If my server is offline, what do I do to put it online? My computer has a perfectly fine internet connection.

I'm still getting refused after trying localhost. If apparently my server is offline, what should I do to put it back online?
