If you use another computer on the same LAN as the server can you connect to it with the local IP address and port?
In other words do you have another computer on the 192.106.0.0 network that is inside the Arris where you can run minecraft and try to connect to 192.168.0.180 on port 180?
Also it's breaks the RFC for networking if you use a port below 1024, not a big deal just not the standard way.

Yes, me and my sister have been playing on the server for the past few days just by connecting to my local IP. However, my cousin (keep in mind he's not on my network), cannot connect to the server using the external IP and port. (Neither can anyone join my BlakeCraft server)
I'm not sure what you mean by it breaks the RFC, but should I just use a port above 1024?
EDIT: I used 25565 (the port I use for my Blockland hosting), and it didn't work either. Is that too high?
Also, check your firewall settings. Check inbound rules for entries named something like "Java (TM) Platform SE Binary" If any of those entries have an action set to "BLOCK" as opposed to "ALLOW", try changing the action to "ALLOW".

Windows Firewall is turned off. Also I do recall my IP is static. Let me check.
EDIT: My IP, 192.168.0.180 is indeed static.
EDIT2: I just realized, my home network that I'm hosting off of is currently set to "Public" (meaning it's hiding my computer's status from the network), should I set it to Private?
I used this guide http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Arris/DG860A/Minecraft_Server.htm however it did not work.
Here is my configuration:
(Router)
Name: Minecraft
Inbound Port: 180-180
Type: Both
Private IP Address: 192.168.0.180
Local Port: 180-180
(Minecraft)
server-port=180
server-ip=
(note: i left server-ip= blank because most guides said it's better to leave it blank. I tried entering my local IP and that didn't help)
Any help is appreciated.

I used an online version of that, http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
The command prompt also gave me the same results, port's closed.
try changing the network from "public" to "home".Never mind. i just tried both settings and it made no difference.
You are making sure the server is running while you are testing the port, right?
Yep. That's the main reason I was concerned. Cause I knew the server was running but the port was closed.
Make sure your internal IP really is 192.168.0.180.
Make sure that is the address being forwarded to on your router.
Make sure your firewall really is turned off or else turned on and configured correctly.
Make sure your server is running without error.

Check everything on that page. Note: Turning Windows Firewall off sometimes prevents port forwarding from working.
If it isn't any of those things, there could be something about the way you are connected to the internet. You may have to call your ISP for help.
According to my router. SCHOOL-PC (my PC) is indeed 192.168.0.180.
SCHOOL-PC
192.168.0.180
It is also being forwarded.
Windows Firewall is indeed off. I'll check the turning it off problem though.
Server is indeed running without any problems. Double checked that.
Thanks for the help though, my dad is returning home tonight so I'll check with him. He usually fixes these things.
