IP Address Confusion

[westsidesound]

It sounds like you do not have a static IP address from your ISP which is why it is changing.

You will also need to update your firewall setting on your DSL router/ Modem for Port translations. You will need to add an entry for every request to port 8000 or one you make up, needs to be redirected to your internal IP address on port 8000

Hope this helps

This is about 95% accurate (as sometimes networks and such can throw off false information). Try that first and see what happens and realistically you need a friend or someone on an outside connection to test it for best results. If they cant get in you likely have a port forwarding or firewall issue stopping it.
