Sweet got the wifi working! I love you Roberto lol. I can access it when I put the ip it gave me in wifi utility setup. Now I think I need to set up the port forwarding so I can access outside of my network. Any ideas Roberto? I have a cisco ea4500 router. I know my ip for the wifi but Idk how to port forward.

Correct, you need port forwarding.
Most routers are very similar. Log into your router and look for port forwarding page.
You will be asked to enter the ip address and port. You mentioned you already got the ip. Type 2000 for port and that should do it.
To test go here: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
Change the port to 2000, but don't change the remote address.

I need help setting up port forwarding. I have entered the port number and have not had any luck. The attached image is a screen shot of the port forwarding in my router.

You want to use TCP port 2000 to 2000 and leave map to host port blank and application type blank.
But you should have another page where you setup the actual port forwarding and you will be able to select the application you just entered in application name.
