My port 1337 is forwarded. I've also tried to change the permission by using this command:
sudo chmod 777

I also noticed that this directory didnt exist /home/john/srcd/./platform/SAVE.

Am I suppose to have that folder? Thanks for the input so far.

update, okay after playing around with my IP settings, i got it to work. I'm not added to the master list, but that's another story.

Turns out i had to use my internal ip address for it to work.
