lksseven,
Did you have to open up ports in the firewall of router and firewall of Windows ( or zoneAlarm or other software) before you could connect?
You will need to open those ports on both the Firewall on the router and on the server(which should already be open). Also depending on how you are set up you may also need to tell the router to forward ports 20,000 & 20,0001(or the ports you use) to your server computer. There should be a section in the Router admin page that says Port Forwarding or maybe just Forwarding where you can do this.

Can I assign the ports to sesame to use that I know are open both in router firewall and software firewall? I had opened up 8080, 3386, 5631 and 5632 for other software. I am not using them that much. Can I assign those ports to Sesame? How do I do that? Do I write Port 8080 as 08080 or just 8080? I am also using LAN so, I do not want to see that interfering with LAN. I do have enough licenses, so I believe that should not be a problem.
You say you are not using them that much, that means you are using them some. If you assign those ports to Sesame, Sesame is going to try to handle ALL communication on those ports, which means it's going to try to answer what those other programs are asking. My advice is to just open ports 20000 and 20001 in the firewall and leave those other ports for the other programs. Also I may be wrong on this, and Mark will correct me if I am, but you should always have Sesame's second port 1 number higher than the first port, so use consecutive numbers.
