Might be worth trying it with th XP firewall switched off..... I know you've opened the ports but that's sometimes not enough.

The problem may be being caused by the XP firewall not seeing your router as a trusted device and therefore not accepting the requests coming from it.

Are you hosting this from your main PC btw? As a rule you are better hosting from a seperate box which sits outside the DMZ of your router. If you're using your main PC it will be almost no time at all before it is compromised.....
