    Firewalls, NATs, etc....

    You have to ensure ports are being forwarded from the external gateway(typically a router/modem) in order to receive incoming connections. One easy way is to set your local IP to the DMZ, and this will forward all traffic to your local IP.

    A local IP is just that(like 192.168.0.*, or 10.0.0.*...), then a router or NAT is responsible for routing traffic from your WAN IP to your local adapters.
