LAN server works; Public hosted server, not so much

Step 7: Editing your server configuration and launching your server
§a) (OPTIONAL) Port forwarding on your router (if you're using one)

Port forwarding is required if you want to allow other people out on the Internet to play on your server. If you are only intending for yourself or other people on your local LAN to connect, then this step is not necessary.
Log in to your router and you need to forward the following ports to the internal ip of your server computer.
UDP 7000 to 7100 (Port Range Forwarding is essential for this)
UDP 9000
NOTE: Windows also has a Firewall that will block these ports #'s into your computer if you are using Windows. You will need to create Windows Firewall exemptions, or allow world.exe/zone.exe/ucs.exe as a list of approved programs
To find out the internal ip of your computer, at a command prompt type ipconfig. The 192.168.1.xxx number that is listed is the forwarding IP you need.
Every router is different, so if you don't know how to log in to it, then you will have some searching to do without the manual.
Most commonly, a web browser is used, typing in an address like 192.168.1.1

Thank you for the response. There is no port forwarding necessary. Yes, they are on different subnets, but they are not separated by a firewall, only a router. A router that is not also a firewall by default like home consumer products. All the Cisco router does in my topology is route the traffic. No rules are applied, no ports need be forwarded. I can, for example, rdp, etc the server on 172.16.210.0/24 from my PC on 192.168.0.0/24 Eventually, yes the 172.16.210.0/24 network will be behind a firewall and facing the Internet and I will need to do port forwarding. But not yet. There is no reason why simply routing traffic should break this. It does not break rdp or any other protocols/sessions. But for some reason, the server only works when the PC and the server are both on 192.168.0.0/24
