Server Online

[Optimus Primal]

Hello,

I have a problem when I create a server my little brother and myself are able to join.(Me and my brother are connected through Internet via an network)
But my other friends cant join. Could this be a firewall problem?

And this might be very stupid to ask but how do I temp. deactivate the firewall, or how do I check If my firewall is on?

I deeply apoligize if this has been answerd or asked again and if so please send me the answer, thanks for those who can help.
