most people have 2 IP adresses. a 'public' internet address (the Service provider-provided one) and a local LAN 'private' IP. the '192.168.x.x' address space is private. for use on LANS.

private address (192.168.x.x) is Translated by your router to a public address (62.3.5.x:12345-for example) . the :12345 represents the 'port'

if you want to connect over the internet, you need to know the destination 'public' IP address of your target.

hope that helps
