You did not forward the ports. May i ask if you are using a router?

Odds are you set the /ip parameter with an IP which is not present on your machine. This setting is for machines with multiple IP addresses only and you shouldn't use it if you're not familiar with the point of it.

May I suggest looking at this thread for more information? Much of it is orientated around using a dedicated server, but there is a brief paragraph at the top which explains which sections to look at for any type of server.

Guide: Running a LFS Server. Hint. If you have a router read the bit on port forwarding. Also check the firewall bits. The guide is orientated around dedi servers, but those are the import bits for both dedicated and non-dedicated.

Also try not to post in massive font. It's considered bad etiquette and doesn't mean someone is more likely to answer your question.
