Aha, i got it all working!
Awesome!
Thanks a lot everyone! Really nice of you all.

Right, so i will be able to see the results when i log in?
Yep, it may take a few minutes, but you should eventually see your worker with some hash/sec numbers. It might take awhile to actually get paid anything.
You could also use
Code:
cudaminer.exe -o http://fc.ltcoin.net:6666 -O username.1:x
if you want. Try
Code:
cudaminer.exe -o http://198.58.99.87:6666 -O username.1:x
No password? Just x?
Yep, that pool uses x for the passwords. So the only thing you need to change is username to your actual username for that pool.
But what pool is it? Do i need to sign up there?
They don't have my feathercoin address so how am i supposed to get my coins?
Your pool, it is just in IP format as the site suggests:
Server(use ip will improve performance much)
Server: 198.58.99.87
fc.ltcoin.net
Port: 6666

Try
Code:
cudaminer.exe -o feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 -O Boelens.1:x
with no "/". 
Hijacking this thread here, I have a problem. It says it can't connect with cudaminer, this is my bat :
cudaminer.exe -o feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/:8341 -O Boelens.1:x
cudaminer.exe -o feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/:8341 -O Boelens.1:x

cudaminer.exe -o http://198.58.99.87:6666 -O username.1:x

Nvidia GPU's make poor miners. Don't expect very high hash rates.
Well, i know it's pretty much worthless for Bitcoin and Litecoin but also for Feathercoin? Any idea what i can expect with this setup?
Afraid so.
About 200 kHash/s if using GPU and CPU.
Which pool are you using?
what command are you sending?
What does username.1 means? I put my username there and then add .1?
Yeah, a lot of pools will have your workers in a username.x format, most often with a default of .1 to get you up and running right away.
For example, if you make an account with a username Joe your first default worker name will usually be Joe.1 with a password of either .1, x or even blank. You will need to check your workers tab in the pool you choose to make sure. Most of them have a getting started or help section giving the basic steps.
For NVidia cards, you will have better luck running cudaMiner: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cudaminer-ccminer-cuda-based-mining-applications-windowslinuxmacosx-167229
I get almost 2x the hash power off NVidia with cudaMiner than by using cgminer. While it still doesn't compare to an ATI card, at least you will get a few cents more than the electricity you are eating up.
Make a batch file (.bat) point it to a pool you already signed up at, like this:
To make a batch file, put the above code in a text file, change the parameters to match your pool and username/pw, save as or rename it to poolname.bat. Make sure it is in the same directory as the cudaminer.exe for easiest setup, you can always make a shortcut to the .bat file to your desktop if you want. Also, if you are new to batch files, you may need to go into your computer folder options and uncheck the option to hide extensions of well-known file type, or else your file will remain text.

Ah nice, will try that.
What does username.1 means? I put my username there and then add .1?
It's the username of the worker of your pool, worker one is generally your username with a .1 behind it, two .2, etc.
