Public ip socket networking

I have a server object and client object that can connect and communicate with each other.

The client connects using the servers private IP address.

But I would like to be able to use public IP addresses to be able to communicate over the internet.

I get the public ip address using a url www.whatsmyip.com as a url.

I paste this public ip address where needed, but the client is unable to seemingly find the server using the public IP address

It doesn't have anything to do with code, as long as the server is binding to INADDR_ANY. It has to do with correct port forwarding at the server-side firewall.
