ORT FORWARDING ON YOUR ROUTER (if your using one)
Log in to your router and you need to forward the following ports to the internal
ip of your server computer : (These are the ones that worked for me)
5998, 5999
7000 to 7100 (Port Range Forwarding is essential for this)
9000
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
Mine was set to leave username blank, and enter a default password. Then you
can change that, but that is MY ROUTER ONLY, yours may be different.
This is the guide i followed, those are the only ports open and they are only open for my static IP for my computer only (servers running off my computer)
