A few points check. Make sure you are entering the external IP or your router rather than the internal one.
When you say you have opened the port on the router...what do you mean? You have to actually set port-forwarding...whereby...when traffic comes into the router on that port...it is sent to the computer running the server.
It will also be a good idea, if you haven't already, to set the machine running the server to have a static IP rather than dynamic...this will ensure that it always has the same IP, and is therefore always accessable (sp) from the outside.
Lastly...check that the windows firewall...or whichever one you are using is set to allow traffic in on that port.
