server hosting help needed?

[servant74]

Talk to a local ISP (if you can find one) and do a 'cheap colo'.

Running servers on non-commercial connections is probably a violation of your terms of service. But it sounds like you have check with them on that.

Other than that, directly connect (not via a router) to your internet and see if it will work. If it does, your router is probably to blame. Then make sure the router is 'wide open' for the ports you need, and possibly put it in the routers DMZ.

Best of luck.
