  • UPnP Wizard shows an error while running it:
    Your router does not have UPnP enabled. Look inside your routers configuration and figure out where you can enable this feature, or port-forward the port manually.

  • People can't connect to your server:
    If the port shows in UPnP Wizard but people cannot connect to your server, add a port exception to your firewall for port 37564, or disable it completely while hosting.

  1. Create an account in http://www.noip.com/ and login;

  2. Choose a name in the "Quick Add" box, for example "freesoserver";
  3. Now you can share freesoserver.ddns.net instead of your IP address for people to connect.

A bit confused. Are you supposed to share your public IP, or the one through ipconfig? Also, I disabled Windows firewall and cannot connect to my lot. I've tried both IPs.

If you followed the public lot server steps, the public IP ... if you followed the LAN lot server steps then your private one (ipconfig).
Remember you have to be in your lot in order to host. You need to access it by clicking on the name of the .xml file.

Once you're in, you can share your IP Address.
 
I'm accessing the lot prior to connecting with another session. Internal IP gets to 25%. External IP gets to 0%

uPnP on the router is turned on. uPnP wizard is configured properly with port 37564, TCP.

If you have an antivirus with some type of firewall feature you should add an exception for the port/disable it too.
While you're in your lot, you can use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to check if port 37564 is open.
If it doesn't show as open, there's some kind of software blocking it.
 
I think I got it. Was able to connect via a second session. uPnP Wizard wasn't playing nice even though uPnP was enabled on the router, so I manually forwarded the port. Try to connect to partyblock.ddns.net and see if it works.
