Question as above. We've used GameRanger for so long I forget which one is needed. I've tried my public IP and a few others websites keep finding but none work. My friend is trying to host and same problem, we can't find each other (same game, same checksum). Does anyone have a link to a website which would find the IP address I need to share when hosting on this game?

In my games...the problem was that we couldn't connect directly using our IPs...The problem wasn't our IPs but something else...I didn't figure out...
We had to use GameRanger...which was possible only with vanilla and not my mod...

EDIT: Apparently opening port 7768 will do the trick. Just awaiting reply on whether that's UDP or TCP

To answer my question you need the persons public IP. Forwarding (not just opening) port 7768 UDP did the trick! Thanks Lennartos.
