If none can se se your server it is in 9/10 cases that the ports havent been opened corectly. have a look at http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm and read the tut on your ruter. (opening a port doesn't help if you got more than one computer on your network then NATing is in order.)

Oh Thats why...

And this NATing? Any tuts or anything?

[neon89]

NAT, Network Address Translation. This is forwarding your port to the right computer. Lets say that you have 2 computers on your network. If you7 have opened the ports in the ruter, the information who is sendt / resived will stop at the ruter, couse the ruter cant figure out witch machine to send it to
Now I dont know what kind of ruter you have, but it normaly is a good tut on http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm for all ruters
