IMHO the port triggering thing like described by merlin will not work in this scenario.
(Cause AA25-Server isn't sending but just receiving on the trigger-port)


OK, lets go step-by-step:

First of all you should assign a static IP to your server-pc.

HowTo:

As your routers IP by default is "192.168.1.1" you need to assign an address within this network range.
(192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254)

Lets say: 192.168.1.10
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS: 192.168.1.1


As your router by default has DHCP enabled you need to define a IP-block for DHCP.
(Otherwise there is a possibility of an address collision if your "server-ip" is assigned to another PC connecting to your network)

This can be done at your routers menu:
-DHCP
Start-IP-Address: 192.168.1.100
End-IP-Address 192.168.1.200


Now you can start opening your needed ports.
-Forwarding
--Virtual Servers

>"Add New"
Service port: 1716
IP-Address: 192.168.1.10
Protocoll: UPD
Status: Enabled

>>"Save"

Same again for port "1717":

>"Add New"
Service port: 1717
IP-Address: 192.168.1.10
Protocoll: UPD
Status: Enabled

>>"Save"



You need to open same ports (1716 + 1717)  at your windows firewall.

Even though some people state to have more ports opened to get the server work this isn't true.
All others ports are an inside-out connection which do not need port forwarding at all.


If you have further questions dont hesitate to ask.

first of all - install a antivirus software!
then figure out what your computer ip is (open dos box, type ipconfig /all). note your address (should be something like 192.168.1.xxx).

connect to your router by typing in your internet browser: 192.168.1.1 (hope you have a password there). login now.
user: admin
pass: admin

if you have dhcp activated, maybe you have to make a reservation for your ip address (but we try it first without this).

now search for the tab "forwarding". select "port-triggering"
select now "add"
triggerport: 1716
protokoll: UDP
incoming port: 1716-1718
incoming protocoll: UDP
status: active
select "save"

reboot your rooter.
tell me if ok now. maybe you got a message from your windows firewall now "blocking ......" say no blocking is so asked.

btw: if you realy are trying to run a server, you have to open more ports then. look at other threads about the needed ports.

We need further informations to help you.

Which router?
Which OS?
Any additional firewall software installed?
