I think this has been brought this up in some other thread before, but it has to do with the router not forwarding the packets back to your ephemeral port (which you open when connecting to the server). Since this port is "random", you are unable to know beforehand what port you will be using, and thus would be unable to forward it. Most of the modern routers should be able to forward such packets automatically though. For those that cannot, I believe BlurredD had come up with a fix which fixes a fixed port number onto your Jazz2.exe.
