Your problem is that your computer is behind a NAT provided by your router.
Essentially, to provide access to multiple devices on your network while still
only using a single external IP address, your router uses network(s) that are
private to your LAN and then attempts to map calls from the outside to IPs on
the inside.

The usual way to handle it would be to bind to your local WAN-facing interface
and then port forward on your router, however this is off-topic for this list.
This is fairly facile though, if you google for "port forward" and your router
model, you should find instructions on how to do so.

Best,

Chris
