Ok well to help you.
Before you can host at all. You need those firewall on. Not off. If its off it wont let players join your server.
Anyway now about porting. Here the setup and numbers.
for those who have the option to put both in there type.
Port 5029 5029.
Type Both.
Private Port 5029 5029.
And there you go its simple and easy to do.
Now for those who don't have the option for type both. Put this in.
Port 5029 - 5029.
Type UDP.
Private Port 5029 5029.
Now once that is made. Make another. And put this in.
Port 5029 - 5029.
Type TCP.
Private Port 5029 5029.
And there you go it will let you host. If not recheck if anything not setup right. Also make sure your using the right IP. If you don't it wont let you host what so ever.
Also make sure its setup for static IP or it wont let you host at all as well.

Try the following, it's how I quickly and easily made one :
First, be sure to have your firewall turned off.
Then, click on Start > Run. In the window which appear, type cmd.exe
In this black console, type ipconfig and press Enter.
Note somewhere, on a paper, the IP adress which is displayed in "IP Adress".
Then, use the default gateway adress (usually 192.168.1.1) to connect to your router, and go where you can actually write the informations about your port.
For the "descrption", I advise you to use a simple description without points or space (like, "SRB2"). Inbound and private ports, keep 5029. Set type to UDP, and for the private IP adress, complete the two last numbers that you saw on the console earlier. Don't forget to enable it~
If it's still doesn't work, it's possible that the antivirus is the cause, but I'm not sure about that.
EDIT : Heh, Aries, simultaneous reinforcements~

Actually, right before I read your post, I tried to port forward my modem too. So when I did, well...

So now I can finally host servers! YAY! Thank you guys for all your help, if it weren't for you, I would have still thought the problem was the router!

Well, it seems no matter what I do, there always seems to be something off, due to the fact nearly nobody uses my router model, I can only use logic when trying to forward ports...
The Server IP I put was the one I get when I "Listserv" on SRB2, don't know if it's what's suppoused to go there... Or perhaps I should Remote Host with Server IP? I don't know anymore.
