Friend unable to join server "Connection timed out"

I started a server on my laptop using the server.JAR file the Mojang supplies, for Java 1.19.4. I've gone through all the port forwarding, and IP address hunting to make sure that I've got all the correct information to give to my friends and family members. However, during testing to make sure it actually works. Everyone other than myself were not able to connect due to the "connection timed out" error. Could someone please help me sort it out??

KEY INFORMATION:
- MC Java version 1.19.4 (I personally am running Sodium-fabric)
- Server being hosted on my laptop - I'm connecting to the server via my PC. NOT my laptop
- Every other member of the server is also on PC, with some running Optifine, others running Fabric and some pure vanilla.
- There are no mods or data packs, and we are not planning on adding them to the server

Thank you in advance!!
