Apple Airport port forwarding

So my problem is that while trying to port forward for a game server I have port forwarded on the firewall of the pc, and on my apple airport. I put the port (25565) for both port options and put my ip in. I went to check portchecktool.com and it says that the connection is timed out any idea what it is and how to fix it?

Can Airport Extreme forward pings? We have our Airport Extreme to supply wifi and one thing we can find a way to do is make it handle pings as we'd expect. I have a linux (ubuntu) box serving as a web server, and got the Airport to forward port 80 connections to it (which has failed for a couple of other wifi routers we've looked into). But we can't get it to do a few things that are useful on networks. One is pings. If I ping the Airport's address, there's no reply. Is it possible to make this work? The port 80 (web) example is useful in this case, because a ping is an obvious first thing to try if attempts to reach the web server are failing. But since pings fail when the server is working, pings don't add any information. (Pings do work on the internal network, so it's not the web server machine that's failing.
