Hi Steveyrc,
If you're sharing your internet connection on a home
network, then you most likely are doing so with a
router. Routers have NAT firewalls which block ports.
You can open and forward the ports using the instructions
provided in your routers manual, or by calling their toll
free number. Hope this helps, and good luck!
