You have RDP forwarded twice. Not sure if that is an issue.
You have a lot of ports forwarding to your internal server - I would suggest switching those off that you don't actually require in the interest of security. That saying, I know you are currently trying to get it to work and adding/keeping them in for the time being will help debug the process - you can always reduce later.
Because of all the ports you are forwarding, I wonder whether it is not a specific port issue but maybe another routing issue. Can you (temporarily) set the router to forward ALL ports to your (internal) server IP address?
You might want to clarify exactly what you mean by "complete .net webhosting". It is best to be clear as to what services your server is provding (web, email, ftp, remote desktop etc.)

If you are trying to allow direct web access to your sql server then the ports opened should work, however this is a very bad idea... If you just want to host a website that uses the database you only need to open port 80 (http) and 443 (https). It is also a very bad idea to expose the AD server directly to the internet.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?

I am working on putting infrastructure together to setup a dataceter
ASKER
how would you recommend I secure every thing
"I am working on putting infrastructure together to setup a dataceter"
If so, I would seriously get some training on how to securely manage such a system. You sound like your knowledge with ports and services is not very strong and setting up such an environment is quite highly skilled with seroius concequences if security and control and knowlege are not taken seriously.

Honest and to the point, exactly what I need to hear.... thanks again
Assuming a basic website, port forward port 80 (TCP). Port 80 is HTTP. If you use HTTPS (SSL) then you need to port forward port 443 but I don't think you are that for forward.
If you need RDP access then open port 3389.
