You probably have an error in your port forwarding rule. Also, make sure your router isn't blocking outgoing UDP (set the router's firewall to low or off).

You just have to double check everything. Make sure you're forwarding the right port to the right computer.

One surefire way to fix connection problems is to get hamachi logmein and have the people who want to ride on your server get it too, they join your group or whatever, then connect with your hamachi ip instead of your computer ip, if that seems too hard, send me a pm and i can help you over teamviewer if you like. (don't know what it is, google it, i dont feel like explaining it)=/

Does either of you have teamviewer that I could possibly fix the problem through? if so, pm me if you want me to help through that.
