Sorry I should also add that if you're behind a router, your request for your own IP goes into the router which then rejects the request as it comes back, thinking that the recipient cannot also be the sender. It thinks it is some kind of hacking activity and blocks the connection. This is why on your own machine you need to specify that you are connecting to yourself for the tracker. The router will otherwise block you from reaching yourself.
