i whipped up a port forward testing program in python.
windows users can just download the exe if they don't want to install python
http://public.zjt3.com/porttest/
many linux distros come with python stock, so you can possibly just download and run
in a terminal.

Is this just pinging a service on one of your hosts at the necessary port?

runs a socket server and tells my server to connect to it, then reports you can host if it got a connection from anything

You didnt provide sources, but judging from "compiled" pyc, its opening TCP socket..
You are testing TCP and not UDP ..
Spring is using UDP.
You need a service on client side which accepts UDP packet and informs server that the port is open..

Better idea for port testing, open the nessessary ports, invite one person to a port test (takes a minute to get someone unless your critically retarded and everyone hates you)
Then play, and see if he connects. Saves time ;'] and if the port works, your already ingame

Sorry to rez... but if someone who knows what to do would submit spring to
http://www.portforward.com/requests.cgi we could link people to their site and then the users would have a nice pretty screenshot filled manual.
