LAN Works, Outside LAN/Internet Connect Fails

[sorvani]

He is incorrectly giving you instructions for using your own login server. you are not running your own log in server, do not follow those instructions. Huppy's guide is correct.

If you can connect but remote people can not, then you simply have port forwarding issues to resolve.

edit: also change the default status in your config file to 0 unless you plan on giving everyone access to some # commands that you are not aware of.

edit 2: here is my config (with account logins removed
