Be sure to open up port 7777 in your router and firewall.

****** : my ip and it will tell you.
Then look for a ******* tutorial on how to port forward on your router.

Mainly go to windows, search "cmd" and open in with admin permission.
Once in the cmd, type "ipconfig". At the top you will see 3 numbers, one of them is like 192.168.1.1. or something like that. So basically you get that number, you put it into your address bar in your internet explorer , and it will open your wifi . The usual password and username is "admin" and "admin" in both.

Search for "portforward" or "games" , and where it says "ip" , get the first number from the "ipconfig" (usually ipv4) and type it in the IP, and type the port you wish to port forward.

Save and it should be done.

At least thats how you do it on most laptops

Use pfconfig.
It is a software used for portforwarding.
Its available at www.portforward.com
