My router never allowed me to connected via external IP before until I forwarded port 1200 give that a try it might work for you.
This are the current ports being forwarded in my router. TCP 27020-27039 UDP 1200 UDP 27000-27015 See if that resolves your issue.

However, people never have a problem connecting to my server, only when they use the friends system and attempt to connect to whatever server I am playing on (Join game) and that server is my internal IP address server. My NAT/Firewall is Linux iptables. The ports are forwarded or no one could connect and play. I don't think the /etc/hosts idea do anything. The friends only has an IP address.
