I bet you guys get all of these posts about servers and, well to be honest, heres another one. 
Sorry If I cause you any inconvenience. 
 I set up my server, and I turned my fire wall off  and set up the server and added my self to the admin list. So I joined my server locally, I launched the console, launched game joined server registered, and logged in. 
Now my problems 
1.) I dont know if my ports are forwarded or not. How can I check? 
2.) The admin panel, when I type /start admin or just start admin it says ACL: denied?  How do I fix this? 
Thanks for your time, I appreciate it
