A couple things for you to try/check ...
1. Does your server config have public set to 1
2. Try typing in exec myserver.cfg or whatever you saved your server config as.
3. Check your IP at ipchicken.com then look if it shows up on the serverlist here http://dplogin.com/serverlist.php

I think that jitspoe's heatbeat script should query the servers to see if they get anything before foolishly adding another ip/port to the list.  These days there's usually 30 garbage servers on the list from people who cannot setup their router properly.

Agreed.

This sounds like a port forwarding problem to me.

Problem is, when the server sends a heartbeat to the server on whatever particular random port it may be, that port will be open for responses, so if I query it, chances are, it will all work OK.  I've considered restricting allowed port ranges to like 279XX, but some existing servers run on crazy port numbers.

Yeah, I understand, but maybe removing stale servers a little quicker would be better.
