Ok, I'm just gonna get right in to it. I've been trying to get a Gmod dedicated server to run for a long time now, but no one seems to be able to join. I've run my listen server and my friend was able to join no problem. So just the other day I ran my dedicated server and random people started to join, so I was so happy that it worked. Then the next day I tried running the same server with darkrp following step by step with this tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zltbpdgm1HE
Then when everything was ready, I ran the server and asked my friend to join and he couldn't. He said there was no response from the game server. So, Thinking it was darkrp's fault, I removed all the darkrp content that I had put on there. I reset all the cfg files I had altered (mostly autoexec.cfg) and ran the server again. But still, No response. I've port forwarded all of the necessary ports because my listen server seems to work just fine. Here is a list of all of the ports I have forwarded.

So what am I doing wrong here? I really have no clue why this is not working. I have double checked windows firewall to see if srcds.exe and any other steam related programs are being blocked but still, nothing.
Here is the watchdog i'm starting my server with, I thought it might be important.
@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct +maxplayers 4 +port 27000 +tv_port 27020 +gamemode sandbox
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds
Cheers.
