You make sure it is port-forwarded correctly?

forward to your LOCAL IP, and let your friends connect to your EXTERNAL IP. Thats the whole trick.

If you don't know what the user above meens: External is your "ORIGINAL" ip that never changes. You can see it at www.whatismyip.com
The local ip is the one you see from your router in the local area connection and it can be dynamicly changed depending on how much PC you got connected to the router.

You don't know what are you talking about. There are 1 private ip, 1 local ip, public ip. If you dont portforward your router they can't connect to his server ip.

I do know... as i have router myself, i know it's done... the best thing is to buy one cheap switch for $5 thats how i did fix the problem. But he said he did port forwarded. I am just saying what ip he needs to give to the users to connect. And ill tell it again it is the EXTERNAL ip you need to give to the users. The local ip will work only for the people the are connected to the router atm.
