Problem with non-LAN connection

[Tyler]

I run the EtherPad-Lite server for my windows 7 starter computer and I
can connect locally and over the same LAN. The problem occurs when a
friend of mine tries to connect while not connected to the same
network via the external IP address of my computer and :9001 at the
end. Is this able to be done or did I just forget to read something
somewhere? Thanks.

You will have to set up port forwarding.
