alright, well what if i can get the person with access to the firewall to change the settings so people can join, how will they change it?

If that is the case, what jumpnjahosofat said applies:

If your problem is a firewall issue, just allow that port to be opened for use in your firelwall settings. All firewalls are different, so you would probably need to look in the help section about your firewall on how to do this.

something else that really hasn't been mentioned here is the fact that most dsl providers do not supply a static ip. so he might need no-ip.com account to keep that ip in check.

a simple way to see if its a firewall issue is to disable it for 5 minz just to see if anyone can connect. (granted its a tad risky) there is also that really nice script from i think (uogateway) thats setup for routers.

i run my server on a dsl and its a tad tricky to get started (tad, ok i lied its rough on a beginner) but keep at it and you will get it sooner than later.

hope some of this helps :)
