If there is no additional restriction by the program, the port is accessible by all machines which can reach yours.

If you are behind a firewall or router it might block the port or not translate the address from external to internal addresses.

If the networks uses "private" addresses internally and only a few official addresses externally, the router has to map addresses, sometimes called NAT (network address translation)

Configuration of this is router specific, can't provide help here.

This should be easily fixable since most routers provide an easy to use html interface you can generally access by typing the ip 192.168.1.1 into any web browser.
