check the ip address of the server and make sure you are entering it correctly, double check your port forwarding. if you are hosting the server localy on your own network try giving the server a static address

Make sure you're connecting to the IP on that exact port. e.g 123.45.678.9:25565

Also, make sure you have forwarded 25565 as TCP, and 25566 as UDP. (Depending on your Router you might have to "tell" it to forward those to your computers internal IP, eg. 10.0.0.120 / 192.168.0.120 etc. Found through cmd > ipconfig)

If your hosting locally you should also try to put your machine on a DMZ through your router. Make sure all firewalls have allowed access to the Java. A temporary solution to double check its not your firewall would be to temporarily turn them off. If this doesnt correct the issue then make sure the appropriate ports are forwarded through your router. If your unsure of how do set up port forwarding or DMZ on your router, try googling for answer. There are a lot of helpful tutorials out there on how to properly setup and forward ports.
