I've tried both,
CanYouSeeMe.org - keeps saying "Timed out"
Portfoward.com - just dont seem to of worked either
Thanks for the help tough

You'll have to be more specific than "just dont seem to of worked either".

well, apparently there was a downloadable software PFConfig, tried that with the ports, just keeps saying this

Used both 2100 Port and 9990 Port, just incase

Assuming both firewall and router are open, then something else is blocking it.

You need to actually start hosting a game before you can check with canyouseeme.org ... or do netstat -a and post what you see.

Just don't use canyouseeme.org - it doesn't do anything the new lobby doesn't already do.

Try following the portforward.com instructions manually, for port 2100.

Yep, i used the IP P/C and i got into my Router, used the Port Forwarding there, and it saying Systems all Green ^^ Thanks alot
