Hi. It sounds to me like you're behind a router of some sort. If i'm not way way out here, what you want to do is to forward the port from your external to your internal ip address. I don't know what your router calls this, but on my DLink DI-604, it's called "virtual server". You do portforwarding from the admin interface of the router which usually is called by pointing your browser to http://192.168.0.1. (the address is taken from the admin interface of my router, but should be similar for yours, check the docs for the router.) Note that you might have to go into windblows to configure the router as Lynx unfortunately doesn't support Javascript and Links2 supports Javascript but apparently not cookies.
