I cannot add my server to game tracker

Hello, I am trying to create a banner for my server to use in forums and whatnot, but alas, it is not working. It cannot scan my server. I have tried doing this without plugins. My server is running now, without any plugins

Query port: 25565
IP Address: 173.22.204.55

My server is portforwarded correctly.

Thank you for your help in advance, I understand it must be annoying seeing this kind of thread all the time.

Have you reviewed the Minecraft Scanning Guide fully?

To enable scanning, edit your server.properties with:
enable-query=true
query.port=YourQueryPort
motd=YourServerName

Is your server installation up to date?

Yes, I have. My server is running the most up to date bukkit version, updated yesterday.

You seem to have done everything correctly in that case. Everything you have done should make it able to be scanned. Since it is not, I'm guessing you may have overlooked something in there. Some things you may want to check:

1. You do not have multiple, conflicting lines in your server.properties for the query options.

2. Your server is using the specified IP address. You'll typically just need to worry about this if there are multiple possible IP addresses or you are hosting it from home (since most ISPs provide dynamic IP addresses).

3. TCP & UDP 25565 are open in your firewall, router, and wherever else applicable. I'm assuming you're not trying to host on a restrictive network, like a University internet connection for instance.

You could also try whitelisting the scanner IPs:

208.167.241.190
208.167.241.185
208.167.241.186
108.61.78.147
108.61.78.148
108.61.78.149
108.61.78.150

Thank you! All I had to do was change my port from TCP to TCP and UDP! Thank you again for your help!
