In short: yes I have IPv4, port forwarding are set up correctly, I have DSL. Still, I'm FP for 90% of players.

And also change the forwarded port to UDP 29000. Please upload a screenshot after.
Run network diagnostics again.

Everything looks fine. DirectPlay is configured and the game was found on your harddrive. If you still have problems try rejoining the lobby or restarting your computer.
Starting networking diagnostics...
Your local network port (UDP) is 29000. All game traffic is routed through this port. This can be changed in "Settings" -> "NAT Traversal".
Attempting to connect to 3 test servers. This will take around a minute to complete...
Received data from 'server 3' through port 28727 (this is your WAN or router port)
Received data from 'server 1' through port 25637 (this is your WAN or router port)
Received data from 'server 2' through port 23472 (this is your WAN or router port)
14 seconds left.
9 seconds left.
4 seconds left.
Test Result: Symmetric NAT
Network Health: Poor
Recommended Action: Port forwarding recommended or switch routers. The only port you need to forward is UDP port 29000 on Voobly you do NOT need the direct play ports 2300-2400 and 47624.
Details: Your router assigned different public ports to all the test servers this will make it hard for users to directly connect to you. You will likely see a large number of fast proxies.
