first off, if its at home, good luck as most ISPs block ALL outbound ports. second, if your doing Open To LAN, wont work outside your local network

Basically, they'll need to

Basically, they'll need to connect to your public ip. (google what is my ip)
You need to set a port forward from your modem to your machine for the port that they're going to be connecting to the minecraft server on. (I can't remember the mc port but you can look it  up)

And pretty sure you need to be running minecraft  server, not just sharing a minecraft world to lan.

The default Minecraft server port is 25565, but it is configurable in the server.properties file. I do *NOT* recommend changing this unless you know what you're doing.
