For safety reasons your modem is blocking request that come from the outside of your local network. You must setup a NAT/PAT on your modem to allow external request to be treated. There is tutorial on internet depending on your modem. Hope that will help you. Have nice day !

your private IP "192.168.xxx.xxx" is not routed over internet, you have to use your public IP provided by your ISP provider(NAT), if you are using ADSL router, log in to it IN ORDER TO find your public IP, then do port forwarding to your local IP address,and enable dynamic DNS, then you can access your private IP using public IP from anywhere over internet
