Hey, i dont want to set your teeth on edge, guys, but i tried alot of things today to solve this problem without any success. 
Does nobody has a clue what the solution could be?

Hey dudes. It's been a long time since last post. But im still alive  .

First of all i would like to thank [SWISS]Merlin and everyone else who tried to help me, for the great support. You rule!!! 
The router problem is obsolete since i have a new one, but now a new problem is showing up: as soon as i join my server i get a 25assist pb prior kick/ban for 5 min. Other players have the same problem. Also i actually don't get kicked. It only shows me the message in the console over and over again and produces horrible lags. Other players get kicked immediately. Assist server manager is up to date. I could'nt find a thread here that really tells me what the problem could be. I'm guessing its a pb problem.
The sv_cheat.log file says:

VIOLATION (GAMEHACK) #80023: H.Blacksmith (slot #1) Game File Mismatch: AGP_Gameplay.u [d4a60185b4a4e4e1a567f08c3ca0fc9d(-) 84.191.23.129:61412]

and

VIOLATION (GAMEHACK) #80023: H.Blacksmith (slot #1) Game File Mismatch: AGP_Interface.u [d4a60185b4a4e4e1a567f08c3ca0fc9d(-) 84.191.23.129:61412].

In the sv_viol.log file i found this:

VIOLATION (MD5TOOL) #9002: H.Blacksmith (slot #1) MD5Tool Mismatch: System\pc.dat (len=34) [?(-) 84.191.23.129:63468]

but i can't find a so called 'File Mismatch' - whatever this means. I did copy/paste these files from 25assist\sytem folder into the server0\sytem folder but nothing's changed.

Any further ideas?

That's right. Both server running computer and separate computer they have the same problems while joining the server. So it's not a problem to run server and client on the same machine, huh? Hmmmm! I'm gonna check port forwarding once again. In another post you said that you just forwarded 1716-1718 and 2716-2718, right? Do you use one computer for both server and client as well?

*EDIT*
After turning off my routers firewall completely i finally could join. So indeed it is a port forwarding problem. F**k me  ! But what ports does it need additionally? I dont want to turn off my firewall all the time. Ports 1716-1718 and 2716-2718 are forwarded.

Fellows, thanks for trying to help me but i'm bitterly disappointed. After trying all your suggestions to solve this problem and wasting hours of my precious time, there is still no solution. This isn't my first AAO server i'm trying to start but i never had such problems to get it started properly. So i'm not a newbe. Do you have any better suggestions than forwarding ports, firewall setups or changing default ports? I already know these methods since years and i wouldn't ask you if they would lead to success. I thought you guys were experts. Don't you have any other ideas?

Nope Sir! It's connected to the network cable and the network speed is high enough. I never had any problems with it.

Ok, i did that already three days ago but i'll give it a try again.

OK, i forwarded the required ports and changed default ports to 1736,1737 too. But nothing changed. A friend of mine joined the server successfully but he was kicked after 10 sec.. I'm guessing it's a punk buster problem. Any ideas how to fix this?

There you go:
