First, check the server is listening on the pot 13000.

Command prompt, use the follow command (on the server).

Code:

netstat -an | find /i "13000"

It should show you if you are listening on that port.

Then attempt to telnet to your local IP on that port.

Code:

telnet serverip 13000

to see if it's accepting connections.

Then, from another pc on the same network.

Code:

telnet serverip 13000

and see if it connects.

If all of that works then it would suggest the port forwarding isn't working and it's not a local issue.

Always start diagnostics on the server, and work upwards to find out where the connectivity issues lies not backwards.
