Check the IP in your forwarding rule. If your router gave you a different address you'll have to update the rule.

For most home internet services you need to forward UDP port 19800 to the server for it to work. It's in your router's setup.

I used to use hamachi logmein to do private servers. Worked fine.

Worked for me too. However if you get how to port forward, that's almost easier imo.
