Static IP and Port Forwarding?

[Thepyroronin]

Hi,
For a couple weeks I have been trying to setup a Minecraft server. It seems pretty easy to setup the server, but it requires you to set up port forwarding first.

I've tried using Portforward.com and that requires you to setup a static IP. When I follow the tutorial on how to set it up, I lose connection to safari. I tried multiple tutorials from around the net and wasn't successful at all.

I understand how to login to the router and setup port forwarding, but I'm never successful with it.

Anyone got any ideas or strategies to try?

Thanks in advance
