Need to make sure your router forwards packets bound for port 21000 to your PC's ip address.

Generally it is best to give your PC a static ip address, determine current one by doing:

start->run 'cmd' ->'ipconfig /all'

This will give you your ip details, address is usually 192.168.x.y.

Copy that address and use it as your static ip.

Configure port forwarding to that address on your router.

If you have probs post link to your manual or the model of your router and I'll be more precise
