I haven't looked at your code but just taking at face value that it does 
work internally.

Next thing to check is whether you have permission to open arbitrary 
ports on the server and whether they are firewalled off. For example, I 
have a shell account on the server that hosts my webpages and I can run 
ftp / scp to move files across the internet. However, I cannot open say 
port 54321 to the internet and accept connections on it.
