Problem Solved!!!

What was the problem?

Having noticed that I have to forward port 3389 from my router, I have to
search for my "public IP", not private IP. I wasn't able to find it thru the
comand 'ip config' because this was giving my private ip. I went into the
internet and search for a page that could tell me which is my public IP
(easy, just went to a internet searcher and typed 'ip').

I gave that IP to my friend, and he wrote it, and that's it! Thanks everyone
for your help!! This forum is for great help!!
