If you do not have a static IP, you will run into some trouble trying to get it
working over the internet.

First, un-comment the binding_host and set it to your internal network IP.  At
minimum, make sure your internal IP is static.  Then, in the hostname section,
you will need to put a hostname that is handled by a dynamic dns service.  Setup
the dns update software on a machine that will call out to said service to
update the ip to hostname whenever it changes.

Not positive, but if you do not have the binding_host set, it binds to localhost
only.  Check out the output of netstat to be sure.

also, make sure that your FW has a forward for your listening "port".
