PC Hosting a server: Players cannot connect via IP ONLY after server has been open for some time.

Terrarian
Hello there!

I'm hosting a Terraria server off of my computer. If I have everyone connect via IP within the first 20 minutes~ish of startup, there are no issues. All of my friends can log in just fine via ip. I find that if there's been nobody on the server for a while, or even if my own character is the only one logged in, but is inactive, other people cannot connect to the server any more after just a short bit of time. Restarting the server when I'm told another cannot connect resolves the issue, but it's obviously pretty inconvenient to both parties.

Details:

Server is being run with the latest version of Terraria, and the latest version of this GUI for the server.
I've allowed Terraria's main directory through my Windows Firewall.
Terraria server is set to port 7777 and that same port is forwarded through my firewall.


Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
