check a few things:
are you forwarded to the correct ip address
is it the correct port
is the server.properties file corect
are you connecting from within your home network aka 192.168.1.xyz ip address or your public ip you gave to your friend
I believe everything is correct im using the ipv4 that when you go into command prompt and type ipconfig it gives you
is that the ip address also listed in the server properties file if it is your isp may be blocking you
change your port to something weird like 505050 and see if that will work
