Your computer may have an IP address showing like 10.0.0.2 or 192.168.1.7 or something like that; those are not real IPs, but internal IPs that are valid on your local network only. Dream Daemon is showing you the IP address that everyone else actually sees, the one needed to reach your router.
People on your local network should be able to reach you through either IP, the external or internal one. The fact that only people on your LAN have this problem points to a firewall issue. Some firewalls offer options to allow or disable traffic only on the local network. | |
