Best Answer

This was an issue a server I hosted for many moons had. In the end, in my case it ended up being a router that simply didn't port forward properly despite all proper configuration. If your friend is hosting out of their home, and their router supports DMZing a specific ip, I would recommend briefly testing to see if that solves the problem. It's not a long term solution unless your friend has a dedicated box he's hosting it on and is confident in how the server is hardened, but it's a good test to reduce the probability that the router is the culprit.

If it's a hosted server... I've no tips for you. :)
