Server Set-up Help

[Sivarias]

I'm trying to set up a very small server for me and my girlfriend, maybe a COUPLE other friends. I've followed all the guides for setting up servers and portforwarding.

Here's the problem, I have a belkin f9k1102v3 router, its not on portforward. I don't like that site either, and I don't have youtube. I set up the server in virtual server. Post the port number. For IP address, I've tried both what I would like the ip to be and my internal IP address. When I tell it to apply changes I lose internet connection in the last couple of seconds of updating. When I log back in the settings are saved.

When my girlfriend tries to log onto the server using the IP address on whatsmyip.com she gets a rejection.

Is there a file in the server I need to edit? I've updated the ram to 5gigs and 4gigs on the settings file and deleted the pause.

I'm running

Windows 7

8GB Ram

and will be playing on the same compy the server is running on (I can access the server just fine)

The workaround we have now is for her to use my internet and log onto my local ip but that causes massive lag for her because my internet strains with her me and the server on the same internet.

If it changes things she is on a macbook pro.

tl.dr.

Me Windows 7

Her Macbook Pro

Portforwarding seems to have failed, she can't log in from her internet

Portforwarding and youtube are out
