I'm going to assume you have no problem connecting to servers and simply want to host a server, in which case inbound traffic is what you would want to allow. If you are having problems connecting to XWIS or a server, outbound traffic is what you would want to allow.
The "LAN Server IP Address" would refer to your computer's internal IP. An example of this would be 192.168.0.104, your router would most likely be 192.168.0.1, another thing to note: the internal IP can only be accessed from within your network.
Hope this helps explain things.

Actually, I wasn't planning on hosting a server; I just have problems when connecting to them. My ping fluctuates badly from 250-700. I can't really identify the problem. I've disabled WLAN Auto Config so that I don't get huge ping spikes every minute.
Using Speedtest and www.pingtest.net I've noticed my DL speeds halve sometimes; yet packet loss on pingtest is Nil. Yet when I use a program like PingTester; I get a very high loss rate % when pinging google; for example.. Also, the bigger the packet size; the greater packet loss I get.
For example, I just pinged Yahoo Answers; and over 30 hops with a packet size of 32 bytes, I got a loss rate of 33.33% with an average ping of 300.
If you'd like to help me with this; I could give you some screen shots etc.
Thanks for the help; appreciate it.
Edit: Thought I'd attach some results from PingTester.
