Well, I have a new problem. I cannot connect to the server on the mac nor can I connect the mac to its own server.
However, I am able to connect to the mac server with LAN IP, but not WAN IP.

That's normal. The router/firewall connects WAN to LAN if you set up port forwarding, but it does not forward traffic originating from LAN to LAN. This is a design issue of port forwarding or limitation of those cheap hardware routers.

Nevertheless, the port forwarding doesn't seem to work on the mac.

You can only check that from an external source from the WAN. Not from your LAN.

If I go to whatismyip.com it shows 70.176.220.23 for both the mac and the pc. Is that normal? Mac is using the same port of 4334. Its LAN IP is different, .103 instead .100. I already enabled port 4334 for .103.

That's normal, too. The web server reports which IP on the internet (WAN) connected to it. It should never get any info about internal IPs from LANs.
