-*Perhaps you didn't configure your modem or router to have port 32160 open? Check that. Often you can modify your router settings by opening a web browser and typing in your local IP address. It will be something like http://192.168.2.1  .. try that or any 192.168.?.? with lowish numbers. If you get stuck on this step, open a command prompt and type ipconfig, you should find out your internal router IP there.
