I have the port forwarding setup as needed and I set my firewall to allow connection for botht he server and the client but nobody can connect to my server. I give them the correct address and yes the server is running. This worked for me before but for some reason it is giving me trouble now.

Anything else I can try to allow others to connect to my server?

unless you are using a software firewall, you do not need to set up port-forwarding or exceptions for the client version.

Make sure to review the server setup documentation completly. Often it is a simple overlook issue. If you still have no luck, try looking into the server.log file for any possible issues.

I am behind a router hence the port forwarding. And my software firewall is allowing connections. There have been no erros since I have been trying it today. There was error #10049 two days ago. But nothing today. Which means it should work, still at a loss as to what to try.

Still can't get this working. The port forwarding is still active but I don't see why its not working. We even tried an alternate port but nothing. I tried flushing the DNS and renewing my IP but nothing.

Edit- Using a link that test TS servers I narrowed it down the the TCP ports. But, it works if my firewall is disabled, just not when its enabled. It should be allowing it since I hit permit and it worked before on the same type of firewall just one version earlier. Though nothing changed in this release that I can see.
