I recently moved to a different isp. After doing so players can no longer connect to my server. "Your character list is being loaded. Please wait." then it goes to a timeout. I can still log in, with no issues. All of my ports are open, as I'm still using the same router as before. I changed my IP in config.lua. I had none of these issues until moving. Any kind of insight I may have missed here?

What are they using to connect to your server a dns?
If so did you update the dns?
What kind of connection do you have?
There are more questions to ask depending on your answers given.
 
I am using a dns, I did update it. I also tried the plain IP in the ipchanger. As for connection i am on a temp 3 Mb cable connection. I have used this connection in the past for playing with peers. I have also edited host file with no luck. I am away from my pc ATM though. So any recommendations will be tried when I get home.
 
Restart the router as soon as you hit the reset button(hold it for 30 secs.. 1 little piggy 2 little piggy ), restart the modem hold it for 30 secs (this time count sheep), there should be a tiny pin hole in the back of each, you will need to reconfigure the router.

Now that they are booting up reboot your computer.

I done all of this. Even went as far as to reformat my pc. Still not working. I cannot access my webpage either from an external source. Localhost access works fine.

Check and see if your ports are unlock, Port 80, port 7171, and port 7172

I have had this problem..

Also check your IP in your config, Make sure its the same ip corresponding to the one on https://www.whatismyip.com/

I reset everything. reapplied all settings. All ports are open & checked.

Are you the only Person at the Router? Do you have admin rights on Router? Is you Apache working (xampp, Wamp, uniserver), is it public? There's a program i think it is called something like cport.exe it will Check if the Port is already opened somewhere(Apache for example blocked by skype) and another Website: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
Enter 7171 there and see if ur Port is even open.
Sometimes people forget to open other Ports like 7172 and 7173 because of login server and game Server, i would try to open 7170 to 7175 TCP and Check if it's really your 192.168.... ip entered maybe is has been changed without your known, restart Router again and restart server with New ip on Config.lua
 
As stated earlier in thread, I have reset router to factory settings. My ports (80, 443, 7171, & 7172) are open & I do not have Skype installed. I have tried http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ with both dns & internal IP for my pc. All say open. Fresh OS install. Fresh Xampp install. Ports all forwarded, antivirus uninstalled, firewall disabled. I can access server/webpage on localhost. Outside connections are not being accepted.

How can it say your Ports are open while Apache is not able to be reached from outside that impossible.. really confusing, did you run xampp as admin?
