If you are behind a router that is doing NAT and you think that is the problem, I can suggest two things to try to resolve that.
1) Connect the computer that is running Tor directly to the Internet. See if it gets a publicly reachable address that way, i.e., not 192.168.xxx.yyy and see if it works that way. If it does then
2) Configure your router to tell it that the computer running Tor is the DMZ.
If those work then the problem probably is NAT in the router. In either case your computer running Tor is directly facing the internet so if you want leave it as DMZ make sure it is well secured and firewalled.

Anyone that has a very specific guide available to setting up a relay? I was thinking of doing this since I'm a firm believer in anonymity, I use TOR myself so might as well help the network and I have decent internet connection that is quite unused most of the time (100 Mbps down/10Mbps up).
I was trying to follow up on that help section on the official site but it wasn't enough. There's a possibility the relay didn't work because of my router but I have opened the rights ports, tested by putting some limits and just testing some settings but not avail.
