Problems connection to the GG master server

I have been having problems connecting to the GarageGames master server. I am using the Torque Game Engine 1.5 and the FPS Starter Kit. I have been trying to host a dedicated game server on the GG master server, but whenever I do and I check it using the gnometech master server monitor it says that my game server has timed out. The game server always shows up as timed out, but the game continues to run on my LAN. I have tried turning off all of my firewalls and lowering the Internet security settings of my computer, but that does not help. I have tried changing all of the ports used by the FPS Starter kit - 28002 to 1048 and 28000 to 1031 - but that didn't help either.

I have tried running the same thing on 2 of my friends computers who have basically the same firewalls setup and the same ISP as I do. They are able to connect fine every time.

Why am I still not able to connect?
