First up, the internal interface not having an IP address is a symptom,
not a cause. It does not get an IP address until the first remote client
connects. It doesn't need one until that happens.
Can you connect from a local machine using the server's local IP
address? This is a good way to check the server config. If that works, you
can start checking why it doesn't work from the outside.
