If you're using the Project Zomboid dedicated server, verify the game files and run the server from the file in its folder with Steam closed, otherwise it won’t work. Every time you run the server with Steam open, you'll have to verify the integrity of the files again. If you're using another method, I don’t know.

Also, make sure the ports are open on your router.

Make sure you have the ports open on your router. I also recommend uploading the logs/console and any files that are usually requested in these situations, so that when Beard checks your thread you can find a possible solution more quickly. Also try running the server without mods, and double‑check that the ports are open just in case.
If you're already running it without mods and with open ports, it would be best to upload the files I mentioned because they'll almost certainly ask for them.
You could also try reinstalling the game and deleting all folders except the "save" folder, in case that solves the problem.
