both the vanilla and mcmyadmin servers weren't running at the same time, were they? They would conflict then. (I dont believe they will allow you to start if something else is running on the same port, but I haven't run two at once in a while..)
Don't worry. I had the forethought not to run them at the same time. Although, considering the fact that they run in two different directories, aside from putting an extra load on Java, that wouldn't be too difficult, would it? Just find another port that IANA hasn't marked as registered.
As for the router, whats the issue? I should be able to help with that too

I've posted this on Tech Support Guy as well. So, I thought it'd be easier to just repost it:
"I am having problems with port forwarding on a router. I am trying to create a private Minecraft family server. I'm going with the default port of 25565. I went into the router and set it up to forward the port to a specific computer. I am using an AT&T Pace 3801HGV Router. We use AT&T U-verse. I know that AT&T allows for port forwarding because they have setup instructions on their website. With the MC server turned on, I went to a port testing site to see if it could tell me if my port was opened. I have gotten two different answers: the port is, either, closed or filtered.
I know enough about networking to be able to setup a router to do port forwarding without having to read the instructions on the AT&T website, just as long as they specify that they allow port forwarding on their network. As such, can anyone tell me why, despite me setting up the router the right way, I can't get an open status on my ports?
Here's a screenshot I took.
According to a pdf I found, the problem is that it's working in route mode.

I, briefly, disabled "stealth mode" and "block ping" to see if they would help and they didn't.
