Now, you need to set a fixed IP in your router for the WiFi adapter address. Forward port 2000 to this address. It'll save headaches in the future.

Check your router manual. If your router ever looses power, the IP address it assigns to the WiFi adapter may change. Setting a static IP in your router prevents this. On my Cisco/Linksys router it's under "DHCP Reservation".

Port forwarding makes sure everything that's supposed to get to the WiFi adapter does. On my router it's under "Applications and Gaming" and "Single Port Forwarding".
