    you MUST connect to the server with the ip you setup for worldsvr.

    The cabal server can only "listen" for players on one network (lan or wan). Whichever address the worldsvr is listening on (IPAddress=) is what the internal.txt should have and all players should have the same address in internal.txt, you can' mix and match.

    If you have it all set up using the wan address an internet players can get in but lan can't then either you didn't forward ports of you have a router that isn't capable of letting lan players connect to the wan address and then route back into the lan (loopback is what the feature is called and not all routers have it). Have a look at the topic in my sig for my basic networking guide as i explain the problem in more detail.
