Default BF:V Server Advertising.

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I've been to like 7 different forums and emailed EA and Gamespy directly. I'm running a BFV server for my clan and have been trying to get the server to advertise. I have the ports routed, I can see traffic incoming on port 23000 for gamespy, however my server is not showing in Gamespy or the In-game browser. ASE works fine. I send out the packet to master.gamespy.com, however I get this in return:

21:29:14.764033 master.gamespy.com.27900 > captain.nc-65-40-171-70.sta.sprint-hsd.net.23000: udp 91

Now I have opened port 61016 (which btw, changes every time the server is restarted in the range of 61000 - 64000), and this is what I get on that port.

I'm at an utter loss to explain any of this. If ANYONE can give me ANY advice, I would be very grateful. I've been trying to get this working for MONTHS, now.

TIA.
