Have you set up port forwarding? your server IP will be there www.whatsmyip.org. To host server you also need to open port. There are many tutorials on how to port forward I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFHVeWNP9Sk.
EDIT: There is Game Maker community also which will help you much better, any special reason you posted your question here. I don't know much about port forwarding. So I need to port forward at the host PC of the game? it's needed to port forward at clients PC? The host needs to do the port forwarding. The clients just need to make sure that their ports are not closed / blocked, but that's usually not the case any way Port Forvarding.
