You and only you needs to use "localhost" (without quotes) as an "IP". Other players have to use the external IP, which looks like (but is not) "86.45.2.191" as an example.

Just put "localhost" as the IP. Then, the other players should use the external IP. You cannot connect to your own external IP.
