You haven't cleared all the needed ports in your windows/router/linux firewall -

Example;
3306/udp 5999/udp 9000/udp 7000-7010/udp 3306/tcp 5999/tcp 7000-7010/tcp
5999 is for minilogin, change to 5998 for public

Still no luck, getting kicked back to login. Here's some of my log data:

Look at your ips, your server machine has a local ip and, if in a network, should have a Lan IP, you might need to change some ips and get it off the local ip. heres my xml;

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
	<world>

blackwater.dynip.com points to my internet ip, and my server host file points the local server to a lan ip.
Th router sends everything to the server machine, or you can just set your server to DMZ (open to interenet), activate software firewall for it.
