Can you connect to it by using your external ip?

If you get a bad challenge that usually means your server is online as its the old school query system. Did you set sv_lan to 0 in your server.cfg. Your external IP goes to your friends to connect and your internal IP is the one you use to connect.

is there a way to see if my server is online without bugging my friends?

You can post the IP here and I will try to connect to it.

That is also a good way, but you need to have your server on for atleast twenty minutes before you try and search for your server...gametiger takes a bit to catch up but so far its the fastest one.
