I don't have a static IP and you do have to buy something sort of...A ROUTER
Basically, you are doing it wrong and/or following w/e instructions wrong. If you use the general instructions on this forum, they don't work for all routers.

Router = internet = WAN IP (public IP as you put it)
If you can connect to the internet, and you obviously can, you have a public IP.
I said before, you have read the instructions wrong, or you haven't even bothered to try and get ports sorted out.
'I do think i have a router'
Look on the wall or near your computer for a box with lights on it.
If you don't have a router, go away and get one, then your problems will be over

Are you sure I'm pretty sure you do unless you want a insecure network that lets it in on every computer or have it only work some of the time.
