When I said clear your ports I meant on the firewall sorry. As far as the port forwarding which is different, you need those ports on your router to get forwarded to the inside addresses that is running the server (Assuming your server is running behind the router). Your router is running NAT translations so that you can perform internet tasks through the one public IP address through your router. When a packet gets sent inbound for 9000, it needs to know where to go and by specifying which IP address at the router in which that packet needs to forward is what you need to do.

So say your router is 64.89.65.34 (Just an example)

Inside server address is 192.168.34.34

Your port forwarding needs to look like this

192.168.34.34 9000
192.168.34.34 7000-7500

Your Windows machine needs to also have those ports opened up on the firewall or it is going to explicitly deny all traffic coming inbound for those ports.

So to answer your other question, yes, you need to use the IP address that is specified by doing ipconfig at the CMD prompt.

Hopefully this helps
