I tried the solution in #6362, but it did not work for me. Seems like there is more than just file sharing issues :)

After hours of struggling, i resolved it finally by enabling automatic portforwarding through UPNP in my router. It seems that SPICE is opening dynamic ports when connecting over internet.

Thanks for this. Do you mean that you essentially set up a DMZ, forwarding all (not otherwise directed) ports to your personal machine? (That might be more of an issue for me as I have a NAS and multiple users connecting through the same router!)
