Server & client works Locally on computer but not outside LAN

Development Programming & Scripting

So I package my UE4 Game, and make sure the TCP FSocket connects to my public IP. I owen up ports on my router, and allow traffic on my PC.

I send my friend the game, and he successfully connects to my server from a remote IP. He types in the username and pass, and it fails to log him on, until he presses it a second time, and then gets disconnected.

HOWEVER, when this is happening on my PC. I.E I run three instances of the game and connect to server, I can log in with no problems.

I tried on my MAC laptop, I can connect to server, and when I press log in with correct credentials I fail to log in, but second time I can log in, and then I am in the lobby with correct details.

So my game works LAN, but not outside LAN.

Anyone know why :P?

Thanks.
