You still need to port foward in the router to the proper system. The router may not have a "Firewall" but it still kinda does
Any system trying to reach a pc on your network will need the outside IP address, the one your provider provides. You then have to tell your router what machine on your network requests from the outside will be directed to. So for an example... any request for port 9000 will be told to router to 192.168.1.50 or whatever
