 If the server is being hosted by yourself and the above doesn't solve your issue, try these steps:

-Its possible you don't have the configuration for the server setup correctly. After running the server once make sure to open the configuration file (Saved/config.json) and make sure its setup correctly (it will attempt to autoconfigure itself, but may get incorrect values if you have multiple network adapters). The most critical settings to get correct are ServerHostname and ServerPrivateHostname, these should be set to your WAN IP (the one you get from sites like https://whatismyip.com), and your LAN IP (the one you get from running ipconfig) respectively. If you are using LAN emulation software (eg. hamachi) you will need to set these to the appropriate hamachi IP.

 ## What do all the properties in the config file mean?
 The settings are all documented in the source code in this file, in future I'll write some more detailed documentation.
