Your public address!!!!
 
You need to connect using the public IP of your PC or router, ie. the IP
assigned by your ISP. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com get the public IP...

Beyond that you need TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDP)
open/forwarded on your router. Note that some ISPs block TCP Port 80 because
running a server violates the terms of service you agreed to when you signed
up with them.
