    You need to open certain ports on your router or firewall. How to do that... depends. if it's a router, not a firewall, then you have to find out its ip, and how to log in to its web-based admin thingy (check the manual).

    And then you have to find out which ports Settlers uses (might be able to find that in the manual, on their website, by asking their support or just googling it)

    And finally, tell your router to forward those ports to your own computer's ip
