You have to worry about port forwarding on the router that the computer running the content server connects to.

If the IP you are using starts with 192.168.x.x, 172.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x or 127.x.x.x then you are using the wrong IP to try and connect with the content server from outside your local network. You need to use the external (internet facing) IP address of your WAN.

Try this thread for a better understanding.
