I used Skype's portforwarding walkthrough, i done everything his mentioned, even had him on msn to help me with some parts.
Both my firewalls - windows and kaspersky accept the new ports i've made
I can join my server using the host's link
I try giving the external url to my mate on msn to join me and when he clicks it the window shows a red background and text saying along hte lines of cannot connect maybe the server is down.
I have my server running when i invite him.
I have also sent him an url with my ip address and port number and that doesnt work either
I HAVE PORT FORWARDED
I'VE USED PORT 25565
MY FIREWALLS THAT EXIST ON MY COMPUTER ACCEPT THE PORTS
THE PORTS ARE 100% OPEN - BOTH TCP AND UDP
VERIFY-NAMES=FALSE!!!
AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED ON THIS FORUM SO FAR I'VE CHECKED AND DONE AND STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM...
WHY CAN NOONE JOIN MY SERVER??? sorry for caps but sick of people suggesting the same crap i already know, yes im pretty annoyed.

Even if you except the ports on firewalls, it can still conflict. Anti-viruses or another program can and will block ports, or connections. I suggest 'testing' them with them disabled.
Try that. Proceed and run a user port scan at your server's port.
Results:
Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice.

So according to this even though that other software says its open its not.. therefore i need to...? what exactly do i do now? and btw tried it with both firewalls off and didn't work either.
