Don't enter remote host, or enter your external IP.

Just enable DMZ on your local IP. I highly doubt you're using multiple computers on that router and you need fine grained port forwarding for each of them.

And open up all your ports to the internet? I highly recommend against this idea...

Those guys can't do port forward. So, it'd be good for 'em to use UPnP or DMZ.
And also, if they don't want. Then they can download Simple Static IP and make their local IP static( which can cause problems when you change your network ) and port forward.

I tried all of them but its still not working .

Use UPnP and enable it in your browser too.

So just because you can't port forward, you should open your PC to all kinds of evil on the internet? What kind of stupid advice is that?

@NicusorN5 What did you fill in on the remote IP, and what did my VC:MP Checker say when you started your server?

@Thijn It's actually a very nasty issue with his router. If you look closely it's almost the same as mine. Except his router could to use the outdated firmware I've struggled with in the past. Basically, you can try as much as you want to forward a port port because it still doesn't work. Reason why I've made that recommendation in the first place.

Some routers don't really work correctly when you try to forward ports through the normal router control panel and you'll have to telnet into the router and manually open the ports yourself. My latest router is one of these shitty routers and I  have to do this all the time when I want to open up some ports. If you're comfortable with telnet, here's some instructions:

1. Open Run [win + r], enter cmd
2. Enter: telnet <internal router IP>
3. Enter username: admin
4. Enter password: (leave blank and press enter)
(if that^ doesn't work, google what are your router's default username and password)
5. After logging in type: :connection bind application=CONE(UDP) port=5555 and then :saveall
6  To see a list of opened ports type: connection bindlist, port 5555 should be there
7. Close the telnet session
8. Restart your router

If you're not really that familiar/comfortable with telnet I don't recommend doing this at all.

@KAKAN it gave me a "MSVCR120.dll missing error.
@Thijn  It says "An error occured:Server down."
@NewK telnet command it not working LOL!

it gave me a "MSVCR120.dll missing error.

Whenever you see MSVCR###.dll you should think of Microsoft (MS) Visual C++ (VC) Redistributable (R) (Runtime can appear as well). Which means that the software you're trying to use, was compiled with a version of Visual Studio for which you are missing those run-time libraries. In this particular case you need the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013

@NewK telnet command it not working LOL!

That means you don't have it enabled. You need to enable it on the control panel, check this guide here to know how to enable it

[NicusorN5]

Oh lol

I downloaded  Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 and my server64.exe stopped working.That's weird.
