I don't quite understand this thread (welcome to bf by the way!)..but I don't think it belongs here. I'm going to move this to the Tech section, maybe you'll get some help there.

On topic..Do you have a router for any reason? If so..did you check its settings? Perhaps you need to forward port 8085 so people can connect? Also, you may need to disable/configure firewalls if you have any running.

Even if you get your server working your friends will get the ****tiest fps you can imagine.
Also you're asking us to help you with something that is highly illegal.
Third, to get people to connect you need to set yourself as a DMZ host, forward some ports, and allow exceptions in your firewall as well as router assuming you have one.
Finally, get real internet. It's not 1990 anymore, ****.

oh, you need to set your friends realmlist to your ip, not your own.
annnd signing up for a no-ip account is kindof pointless in your situation
