1. How do you know it didn't work?
1a. Did you get somebody to test?
1b. Did you check yourself through the JoinServerGUI?
2. Port Forwarded?

1 + 1a. I checked on another computer
1b. Huh?
2. Yes

Checking on another computer does not help often. Routers often don't know their external IP, and will not know how to connect to it. If it shows up in the server list, and you are properly port forwarded, then it works, even if nobody connects.

If it's not showing up in the list, either your dedicated server is not running, or something's blocking it. It shows up in the list, regardless if ports are forwarded or not.

It shows up in the list grayed out on the other computer, and it says it's dedicated. Can someone check if it's up?

Yea, its dead. Unless you closed it at time of post.

And if it's dead, either your ports are not forwarded or you have a firewall blocking connections to the server.
