Sounds like the ports are blocked. On the router interface, look for port forwarding. Forward ports 5190 - 5193 to your local ip address. You might be able to find a list of connected devices on the router interface. That'll list your IP.
Yeah, that should do it.

Try turning on Network Address Translation too (NAT).
