I have the same prob. I'm using my IP which I got from showip.com and it keeps saying "Waiting..."
I too have had this problem, and it isn't just from a local connection. I cannot access the Win2DS (or DS2win fusion) server on my computer remotely, through the internet.
I am using the correct IP, I have tried with port 8888 forwarded /and/ with a DMZ set up for my PC, and either way, I am unable to connect to the server with my DS remotely.
NAT is also functioning perfectly.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
