Try to upload the server to like a free host.

Example,

http://sa-mp.gs

If your server is running Windows, which I assume it is, make sure to disable Windows firewall and any firewalls that are included with your antivirus (if you run antivirus software). If that doesn't solve it, please provide a screenshot of your port forwarding settings.

If you have diasbled you firewall or given the server.exe sufficient permissions, portforwarded and set your IP to static then you have missed something.

If you have trouble with using a static IP, I would suggest you to try out http://www.noip.com/ and download the DUC.

Hey guys or girls,

Best things you should not is turn off firewall and antivirus. This would put you at risks and is not recommended. The only things would be if your settings for port forward is badly set. So screen and peoples will take a quick look. Another solution would maybe be your firewall blocking the application that try to run your server. Then you should allow it.

Also hosting in home, i would recommended using a free hoster or paid hoster, which will provide you mores protections. Like DDOS and mores. Hosting at home is cool but might not be best in terms of security and efficacity. Proof? http://www.serverbeach.com/resources...s%20and%20Cons

For hosting, i normally recommend Linux (CentOS, Debian) both 64 bits, which are safer than Windows OS. Proof? http://www.pcworld.com/article/20442...r_servers.html and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlprogramma...plication.aspx

Here my view point.

Thanks,
