Being able to login through the lan but not external IP is usually an issue of not port forwarding, or not port forwarding correctly

if your using a modem with an internal router, then a home router you need to

port forward from your modem and point to the IP of your home router, then your home router points to the machine on the network that is your EQ server.

I saved myself the step and just attached the server to the modem( + internal router ), which makes me unable to connect via lan, but also means if the eq server gets hacked they are not inside my home network.
