If you're behind a nat you'll also have to open some ports so that outside hits are directed towards your server, or you could just designate your server as dmz so that all outside hits no matter what port are sent to your server. I'd probably do the first not the second so that your security risk is reduced. WOuld be a good idea to turn off any services that you don't need too.
