U must setup corectly if u use a router , but I advise u to try first on local network , and after online... But for local work the router setup is not important, only is important to connect server PC to an swich/hub, or router, otherwise u will see popup with sockets error...:):P
Are working ur server corectly on local network??? If yes ...and want to connect via intrnet and appear errors ... is other talk...

Have you forwarded your ports? If not do so.

And follow a router guide on the forum. Use search button.

Make sure you dont have 2 gates running on one port.

And enable UnPnP or watever

no need to worry about unpnp / ssdp anymore ,
this is sorted now i believe he was using all 192.168 ips and his ports were not forwarded.
