[Solved] Setting up a proper WAN server?

[CurbsidePharmacist]

So let me start with this:
I have been running game servers from my home connection for years but for some reason this one particular game has got me STUMPED!!

Here is pretty much a step by step of everything I've done so far

Installed Freelancer 1.0
Installed Discovery Freelancer mod
Updated the Discovery Launcher
Installed IonCross - edited the FLserver line so the admin program detects and launches.
Port forwarded all ports listed on the MS website that pertain to Freelancer, Later I gave up and went for DMZ to rule out missing forwards.
Setup the server and was able to get into it locally only with IPv4 ( IPv6 would show a MAC and would get as far as the password then stopped responding )



So my problem is I can enter my server over a LAN connection and everything works great!! , however I'm unable to to connect via the Internet.
DMZ is enabled and pointing at my server and the Ddns service is active and reading as (connected)


Does anyone see anything I may be missing or might want to tweak?

I have been reading around the various FL fan sites looking for directions but I think that taking bits of directions from here and there might be why my servers not connectible.

*Update*

I asked a buddy to try and connect with the following arguments
-scurbsidepharmacist.ddns.net
-s50.82.91.78:2302

The 1st argument will not connect but the 2nd did.

I hope this information may help people at a later time.

First of all, try this to run your server with

Second of all, you might need to do something called "Forwarding your network ports". I'm no expert in this so don't ask me how to do it, however it involves your router and allowing it to send out information (Or something like that). I'm sure there are many tutorials online to show you how to do that.

When you've done that, you have to do some weird thing that's out of my knowledge to get it visible to friends. Someone else will have to explain that for you.

Thank you, it's working fine now.... DMZ hosting is a type of port forwarding only it sends ALL traffic to that PC, it's not really good security wise but it's helpful when dealing with temp problems. I already tried forwarding ports, but now since everything is working I can then go back and change some network settings. SUPER HAPPY!!!
