Ok, I so I started my server, and I can join and everything. I forwarded the ports. So I want my friend to join over the Internet. The servers IP is 192.168.1.143. So how can he join my server? He can't. So how do I fix this? How do I get my friends to connect to my external IP? Whenever I try to invite my friend, it just says server timed out.

I know that, but what if I want random people I don't know to join through the Internet Server List?

Your friends cant be invited/join you game through friends list. It would come up as an internal address for them. Just give them your external IP address and if they can join, your server is setup fine.

IF it lists in the server list they can join without problems, since that's automatically your external, only you see the internal.
