ICMP is not required - this is the type of packet the ping program uses; when the masterserver says you were not registered this means your ports aren't forwarded properly.
I haven't read all the details, but I saw the registration once succeeded - so the basic forwarding of ports has been accomplished - now the only question remaining is whether the router can be configured to use either the MAC-Address of the PC's ethernet-card to handle the port-forwarding with changing LAN-IP-addresses (DHCP) or it can assign a static LAN-IP to the client so the forwarding doesn't need to be fixed for each/every-other boot.
If the masterserver says registration successful anyone with an up-to-date list from the masterserver (press F5 in serverbrowser to re-get the list) will see it, possibly not on the first page though. For an idiot-proof (well, given a clever enough idiot (haha)) way to verify visibility:
HTH

[SELECT ALL] Code:
1) while AC is not running: delete the config/servers.cfg (check game-home too)
2) start AC
3) do NOT use the menu to go to the serverbrowser!
4) enter "/addserver 123.123.123.123" (real IP or HOSTNAME - no quotes)
5) enter "/showmenu server"
