have you disabled your firewall? and it wont even connect to your local host when you run it on yourself? or maybe do you receive connection-attempt? if not there is maybe a problem with portforwarding. maybe you are behind a router from your isp?

haha im no expert but i think you can go to 196.168.1.1 or something and it brings you to your router setup or wireless not positive again haha but then there should be a section in advanced setting with port forwarding and try that. also if your on a laptop ive had problems before on mine too. and have you tested the server on yourself and do you run no-ip while doing this?

im trying to make the new server so at the moment i cant even use it on myself let alone anyone else lol, i have tried everything from my no-ip to the ip address of the router.

haha well try it on yourself first uncrypted and unbinded some of those can cause a problem, but a lot of times the problem is with port forwarding and the isp

yeah im in the proses of testing connections with my own ip address but its not working, dont know what port to use, how do you port forward?

192.168.100.1 i tihnk it goes for your modem or router i forget which and then you need to configure forwarded ports in advanced settings, (i may wrong haha) and there are some websites to see if your port is forwarded
