So i have my ports opened on my computer; 443, 7171, 7172, 80, 3306.
but for some reason its saying accessible from internet: no.

I came here because well ive made a server before (long time back) but it was at my other house where there was just one computer (the main one, plugged directly internet the Modem). the computer im using however is wireless, as is all the computers in my house (5 of them)... so i know my ports are open; ive checked them in a port website. But for some reason i get the status timeout when trying to connect to my server with my IP address. I can connect fine with my static Ip but clearly thats no good cause no one else can... do i need to open the ports on all my computers since im wireless or something? im really confused; please help.
 
First of all, close 443 and 3306. They are pointless to be opened unless you want to get hacked.
Now, your ports will not appear to be open unless you have a service behind them. So if you do not have Apache+MySql open, port 80 will not work. You must test those ports with your services online.

Okay i closed them both and yes i have mysql + apache running right now and its still saying accessible from internet: no.
Im using uniform server.
 
It's normal if you login from the computer you host the server on, that you can only login using your IPV4/static ip address or 127.0.0.1.
Try to let other people connect to the server or try to login from an other computer.
 
Did you port forward in your router also? Not just your pc? To the local ipv4 as limos said, 443 will not get you hacked, 3306 you will only get hacked if you are not properly setting permissions in your MySQL users
