Can you connect to your own server from a different computer on your LAN? This should verify that 1) your server is working and 2) the ports on your computer that is running the server are open.

There are many guides for opening ports out there and they typically have tools to test it (though it might be risky to use them).

Also, I wonder if your ISP blocks inbound connections like this. Most residential connections aren't being used to host services so I imagine it's possible that they'd block it unless you get a commercial tier connection. This is just speculation and I don't know anything about Xfinity.
