What sort of connection do you have to the outside world?  If you have
something like an ADSL router then you will need to explicitly tell it to
forward incoming packets addressed to port 8200 to 192.168.0.3

Give more details of your connection and someone might be able to give you
specific instructions on how to do it.

Do you have any existing services running on that box which are accessible
from the outside world?
