If it is on a network, there is probably a firewall built in to the router... you will most likely need to forward the ports to the internal (LAN) IP address of the host computer, and have players connect to the WAN IP of the router. I believe that SE4 will show both of those IP addresses in-game when the host creates a TCP/IP game.
