You need to Port Forward.

Im Sorry whats That mean im noob to all this

Alright.
If you just wanna get on from your laptop, you need to make it Lan
The way to do this is get something like Hamachi or just be connected to the same internet, then you should be able to join easily.

Yep, if you're connected to the same internet just type in localhost as the IP.

Port-forward, the hard way except it pays off because people who want to connect to it don't need to have an external program.

Or use an external program like hamachi, it's got it's limits and it requires every player you wish to join to have the program as well except it's by far the easiest way.

Only if you've portforwarded or you're all connected to the same Hamachi network.

Ethan, you are trying so hard to make a server. It took me a long time to figure it out. Look it up on youtube.

Here is a guide on how to Port-Forward, You Will Have To Find Out The Rest, I'm Just Helping You With The Hard Part.

1. Open your router's admin console by typing its standard IP address into your web browser's URL box. For most routers, this will be either 192.168.0.1. or 192.168.1.1. However, if you want to figure out the IP, here's how to do it:
   • For Windows: Open the command prompt and enter ipconfig /all.
   • For Mac: Open the command prompt and enter netstat -nr.
   • For Linux: Open the command prompt and enter route.
2. 2​
   Enter your username and password. If you've already configured the security settings for your router, enter the username and password you chose then. If not, here's what to do:
   • On Linksys routers, type "admin" for both the username and the password.
   • On Netgear routers, type "admin" for the username and "password" for the password.
   • On other routers, try leaving the username empty and entering "admin" for the password.
3. 3​
   Open the Port Forwarding or Applications and Gaming tab. Each router will be slightly different, but look for these two options. If you don't see them, try Advanced Settings and look for a Port Forwarding subsection.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. 4​
   Enter your desired ports.
   • Enter your application name. For a list of which ports an application might use, see the Sources and Citations section below.
   • Select the ports you wish to use. If you only want one port open, enter the same number in Start and End. If you wish to open a range of ports (say 5), you might type 3784 in Start and 3788 in End.
   • Select Both if you're asked to choose between TCP and UDP.
   • Enter your IP address. Your router might ask for the whole address, or only the last three digits. If you don't know it, go back to the Command Prompt and enter:
     • For Windows: ipconfig.
     • For Mac or Linux: ifconfg
       
       
       
       
       
5. 5​
   Save your settings. You might need to restart your router for them to take effect.
