Yeah, might want to try some basic stuff out first, though.

If this is all new to you and you don't know how to configure your router, then first of all, find out the model of your router. Then go to portforward.com and fill in the spaces and configure your router from there. It's in the Port Forward section on the top left of the site. It's pretty self explanitory.

You want to open all of the ports for your server.
5998, 5999, 3306, 700-7005

After you've done that, check to see if you can see the server name by logging in with the PC you're playing on. Make sure you change the eqhosts.txt file to reflect that you're connecting to the server PC on your LAN.

You need to understand basic networking and how to utilize your router. If it's a failry decent one, you don't even need your firewall software. In most cases, that causes more problems for people than preventing it.
