[Cross-post] Can't get anyone connected to server

Original post: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/247350/discussions/0/1291817208485199482/

tl;dr: I have attempted to set up a server on my home pc (I have dual monitors) and have friends connect since we have multiple people to command stations. I have run 2 instances of the game, turned off both OS AND router firewalls, and set up port forwarding on 2010. We have tried just the ip as well as ip:port to get people connected and nothing is working.

Why is this so difficult to get working via internet and can anyone please help me troubleshoot this?

It's so difficult because the code is really bad.

I have seen two strange behaviours that could lead to such situations. In order to find out if they are fitting please try the following:
1. Please open a command prompt and enter the command "ipconfig". Do you see more than one IP address? Then it could happen that either the server or the client use the "wrong" IP address to bind to. We can try to figure that out then.
2. On the client installation of Artemis, open the file "artemis.ini", find the line "forceAddress=...". Uncomment it (removing the leading semi-colon), and enter the IP address of the server. Save the file. restart the client and it should connect to the server. If connection via this force method works, we know it's not a network problem. I can then help you further, this is a real strange bug.
