Getting a server public with DynDNS (Not working)

[jay77]

Alright, so pretty much, this makes me feel kind of stupid, though I have followed countless guides, I will post detailed instructions of what I did, and please PLEASE tell me what I've done wrong, or what's going on.

Firstly, went to DynDNS made an account, got a host, "fromtheashes.servegame.org" you have to pay for wildcard, so I couldn't check that. But I didn't think it mattered.

I then went to my router, and opened the following ports protocol tcp and udp.

3724 - 3724
80 - 80
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 -8093
6112 - 6112
6881-6999
3036 - 3036
8050 -8050

The same ports the guide told me to forward. I then got a port checker, to check the ports that were open. Every single port was open except 3306 giving me the error that an application is using it (MySQL) which is forwarded, yet I understand it doesn't need to be anyway, since MySQL runs off of it. Here is what my config looks like.

<Realm1 Name = "From The Ashes"
	Address = "fromtheashes.servegame.org:8129" 
	Icon = "PVP"
	Population = "1.0"
	TimeZone = "2">

I only changed that in the configs (I have direct access of the hosting computer, the hosting computer doesn't play on the server, and if I wanted it to I would put a realm 2 on adress 127.0.0.1, I'm also not on lan with this computer).

Here is my hosts file in system32>drivers>etc>hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost

75.100.20.185   fromtheashes.servegame.org 
192.168.0.3     fromtheashes.servegame.org
127.0.0.1       fromtheashes.servegame.org

75.100.20.185 is the external
192.168.0.3 is the internal
127.0.0.1 is the local thingy

What have I done wrong? Hamachi STILL works fine with it when I change the realms to have the hamachi IP, I have no idea why it's not working. There is no firewall running no antivirus that is blocking this. I don't understand.

Any help would be much appreciated and +Rep!

Still in this same position, I really need some major help guys =[ time is running out, i really need to get this thing public, and I cannot seem to figure out what is going wrong. does anybody know what I can do to fix this! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee +Rep. I havn't got any replies but one person with the same problem. I'm running Vista, I've tested all of the ports that i've combined from 4 different guides. These are what I have forwarded.

80
3724
3306
8129
8093
6112
6881-6999
8050
3036
3727

All of those are portforwarded, and I've checked to see if the port is open several times, each time for TCP and UDP comes up as open... So they are open...

All I changed was my config file "realms" and that was to fromtheashes.servegame.org... HELP =[ please!
