I'm so frustrated.
I read over 5 tutorials on port forwarding and all i get is:

First of all, the IP you used with the port tester is a LAN IP, not accessible from the general internet; you must use your external IP with the port tester (http://www.whatismyip.org will be of help)

Secondly, ensure that your internal IP is in fact correct; you will most likely need to set up your computer to have a static IP as well.
