Connection Issue

[Blackbelt12]

Hello I am currently running Unreal3.2.7 on my Windows XP. I port forwarded the ports properly and I can connect fine. But when other users try to connect, they get "Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)". What can I do to fix this problem?

Maybe some sort of firewall? Let the users outside of the LAN connect to your external IP address.

Yeah I'm making sure they are connecting using my external IP but they still can't connect.

*Edit* Sorry the error says: "Unable to connect to server (connection timed out)"

I am having this same issue. And others are connecting to my external IP. We have it set up at no-ip-com as one address that updates the dns to my actual IP. Still others cant connect. However I can connect right away since its running on my computer. I am using a Cisco router with the right ports forwarded. [10053] Software caused connection abort is the error everyone is getting. Any assistance figuring out whats going on would be appreciated.
