192.168.1.* belongs to one of the three private IP ranges, it is not
accessible outside of your network.  If you want to stream outside of
your home network, you must set up port forwarding.

1. Configure a static IP address for your computer (in the properties
of your NIC, Google “Windows 8 static IP address” for more info). You
can use any of the 17.8 million available private addresses, but you
are better off by using whatever your router gave you + 10 (a safe
margin to ensure DHCP won’t give the address to someone else; e.g.
192.168.1.25 turns into 192.168.1.35)
2. Log into your router and configure port forwarding.  Where you can
conifigure this depends on your router.  Once again, Google should be
of help in this case.
