Are you behind a router or proxie, per chance?

i know f'all aboot ports and stuff but i hear the word port forwarding alot even though i have no idea what it does.

perhaps this is what u need to do?

Yep. Take a look at http://www.portforward.com/ and configure your dad's router to forward UDP port 27960 to your computer. Don't forget to configure your firewall also if you use one.
