Every time I've had to forward a port, I've used the TCP/UDP option, perhaps try that and then see if it's working?

I'm guessing your problem is you're checking if the port is open for the service, but it's not running.
Make sure you run eoserv, then check if the port is open for the service while it's running.

A common issue with port forwarding is people forward the port inside their router but their modem is blocking it. Try going in to your modem, (probably 192.168.0.1) and opening that port there as well.

Another thing is probably your firewall, if you haven't allowed the port through the firewall on your computer then it won't show as open and people won't be able to connect to you.

Also make sure your ISP doesn't do anything stupid like block traffic to certain ports. 25565 isn't a common service port so I'd be surprised if they cared about it, but some ISPs block certain ports/traffic unless you pay for business level internet.
