Hosting Server Friend's are unable to find my server

[AlexTVGR]

I'm trying to make a private server for me and my friends to play on but they can't find it on the the list however it shows up on Local for me.
I swear I've done it all right. I've done the server.cfg, Installed everything I need and I've port forwarded

Here's a screenshot of my server.bat

Any help is appreciated and i'll provide more information if needed.

(The name is "Alex's private server" in case you need to know for whatever reason)

Is that all the output?
There should be much more.

Make sure you actually do have a command that load some map in your config.
It usually look like:

map mb2_lunarbase

If your server does not run any map, your server won't be visible, obviously.

Yep that's all the output besides the rest of the pk files it loads in.

as for the map it's running doft. In the server.cfg it says
// Map rotation:
set d1 "mb2_duel_dotf;set nextmap vstr d1"

vstr d1 // Start the first map in the rotation

Actually I just added the code u suggested (Except it's dotf) and it's done something different.
I'll get back to you once my friend is back on and see if it works

Ok tested it again with my friend, he still can't find it although the .bat says this now

Now output look like it's supposed to look.
Ask your friend to connect your server directly, by opening console using Shift + ~ (aka Shift + `), and typing

/connect YOUR_IP:PORT

Then tell us what exactly happened after he pressed enter.
Quote any (error) messages exactly and entirly.

Ok he did the command which was /connect (My public IP):29070
and it just says 'Awaiting connection' and counts up endlessly.
Nothing in the server.bat indicates that he tried to connect either

Seems you didn't set up port forwarding correctly.
And I can't see your server here: Movie Battles II Server List

Please post screenshots of your PF settings.

Are you sure IP address of your PC is 192.168.0.1?
Check connection settings to see your actual IP.

Are you sure that integrated firewall of your router is OFF?
It absolutely, positively must be off, so shut it down.

Disable all firewalls and antivirus you have installed. Turn them off, completely.
Disable built-in Windows firewall as well.
(Or configure all that stuff properly, but only if you know how to do it. Otherwise, turn it off.)

Also, every time you starting up the server, examine output to make sure that 29070 is actually used, not some other port.
Below you can see a screenshot showing tricky behavior: server failed to open 29070, so it added 1 to port number and opened 29071.
Watch for it!
