Connecting from outside to windows server 2011

Hello, I tried to run cuberite mc server on my home server with Windows Server 2011 OS. I've created account minecraft and folder minecraft.

The server machine is in my flat and it's working also like router. I set the minecraft folder I'm now able to see and rewrite it from my notebook. If I want to do something with Console, I'll just use remote desktop connect. I also enabled ports and Java binary in server firewall.

I can connect on server from local site, but nobody can't connect from outside. I don't know why, so I'm asking here. What should be the problem?
MC server automatically starts, when my server starts. My server is shutting down on just a few hours (night). Then automatically starts. Now the server is running

Edit: Sory for no-english language OS in pics.
You should connect the server via 82.209.47.42:25565

Are you experienced with port forwarding?

This sounds like a port forwarding problem. Normally, a router blocks all connections that are coming from outside for security, and you must forward port 25565 to the internal network. I am not sure how exactly this works in Windows server though, and I don't know what your exact setup is. You may want to start here:
https://www.google.co.il/search?q=window...forwarding

In essence, there should be a menu or a console command which tells that performs this redirection:
82.209.47.42:25565 ===> <machine's LAN address>:25565

Edit: I did not see the pictures before posting this.
Do you have any other router or machine in between your Windows Server and the Internet?

Internet => Server => My NTB (+ other machines in local network)

Between Internet and my server isn't any other machine. My IP adress is 82.209.47.42. I thought I just need enable port 25565. It didn't work and I found on internet I need also enable java binary. It's still not working.

Edit: ipconfig

Cuberite does not use Java at all. This is almost certainly a "port forwarding" issue, you have probably configured your router to allow only from the lan side. I am afraid I can't be of much help on the exact setup.

Also, you might want to contact your ISP and see if they block incoming connections.
