Are you doing this on yoru home computer? If so, are you behind a Cable/DSL router? If so, this is your problem. You'll need to forward the proper ports to the computer that's hosting the server, otherwise users on the outside will not be able to connect.

If it's a standard Cable modem (like I've seen with the cable provider in my area), then you don't need to do anything else. However, if this cable modem also has NAT functionality, then yes, you'll need to forward those ports to the router.

Saddly it's NAT, Cox's cable is infamous for being mean and unkind to people like me But yea, i still need foward my mordem, and they can't help either, why do i pay them again?

You pay them because you probably have no other options in your area. You might get better help in the networking section of this site. I can move this thread for you if you'd like.

your best bet is to buy hosting from a legal reseller like stelivo.com. chatspace is old vulnerable software and will drain your CPU. they need to be ran from stable dedicated servers with a tonne of ram.
