Opening up my Unreal IRCD server to outside my local network

Good afternoon!

I have been trying all day to get my Unreal IRCD server to accept incoming connections from outside my localhost (so my friends and I can chat, obviously)

I have read tons of online turtorials and FAQS including this one over at Unreal itself: http://ift.tt/1zhbgJK

And I also saw this question on the stackexchange which beared many similarities to my problem: setting up an IRC server on freebsd

But I still cannot get it to work as I wanted.

Now, here's what I did already: -Portforwarded ports 6660 to 6669 in my router -Allowed the aforementioned ports as incoming connections in my windows firewall. (I can supply my unreal config file if you guys want me to.)

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!
