Cannot connect via IWP, please help!

FMPA 12 (not Server).

 

I enabled IWP and it worked fine on our internal network.

 

Went ahead and did port forwarding and we couldn't establish a connection from the outside, even changed ports to no avail.

 

Then I decided to try connecting the computer that was sharing files via IWP directly to our modem, so that there was no routers and no port forwarding involved (the ip showing in the Mac network settings was the same we got from online pages that show your ip) and we still couldn't connect.

 

Any ideas?

Resolved!

The problem was that my ISP sets some "protection" for all their clients by default. I went to my ISP control panel and disabled that and now IWP works perfect!
