See my above post (/post/899565) - if you get connection timeout, you either failed to port forward, or the game is not allowed in the firewall.

how do we fix the fire wall and port forward thing

You can start with searching "port forward <name of your router>" and check via any of port testers (example) when you are hosting a game.

Using Hamachi or similar tools is another option, you can find plenty of instructions on that.
