Connection Times Out On LAN

I am pretty sure I have done everything correctly, connecting from the host machine using 127.0.0.1 works, but trying using its local IP address (192.168.1.10) doesn't work from both the host machine and my other computer. I tried forwarding the port in my router's configuration page by navigating to 192.168.1.1 and logging in, etc. Is there any troubleshooting steps that could be taken to try and figure this out?

Firstly, try disabling the Windows Firewall. It'll do nothing but get in the way.

Next, check your listen blocks. Are they set to only listen on 127.0.0.1 or *?

That just about does it. I didn't realize I needed a listen block for the LAN, thanks.
