192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255) is a private IP address
range set aside by RFC 1918.  Those IP addresses are not routed on the
internet.

You have some device that is translating between your internal LAN's IP
addresses (192.168.X.X) and Your external IP (at the time you sent the
above email it was: 65.173.78.130).  This process is called Network
Address Translation (NAT).

You need to configure that device to forward incoming connections to
65.173.78.130 to your server's internal IP address (let's use
192.168.1.1 as an example).  The exact process to setup that forwarding
will be specific to your NAT device (firewall, router, modem, whatever).

Once that forwarding is setup, external players will connect to:
65.173.78.130.  Players on your LAN will connect to: 192.168.1.1.
