I have even tried with Windows Firewall turned off. I'm not essentially bad with computers so I thought settings this up would not be such a difficult process, infact I'm quite the techie but at this point in time I'm completely stumped because I've tried almost everything..
When you ran the test, did it come back that the ports are open?
Can you connect via the connect command using your internal or external IP address?
Since the server is running on your own computer, you can try to connect via the loopback address as well (127.0.0.1). However it seems like it's an issues with the game using the same ports as the server. That thread would be much better at explaining that then I can because I've never done that.
It is also worth noting that it is not recommended to host and play on the same computer. There is also no promise that it will work.
If you host just the server without having the game open, can others join the server?

Now I just have to see if others can join, and they should be able to seeing as I have forwarded ports properly.
I will be back to add a [RESOLVED] if I manage to get people to connect externally.
