There are two types of addresses: local and internet. You are probably seeing the local or a loopback address in Glest. If you want to play over the internet go to http://whatismyip.com/ . This will tell you your internet address. Also port forwarding might need to be setup. Search the forum, port forwarding has been discussed a few times.

i'll just come back when you guys have fixed all the bugs.. No use in waisting attempting to setup a internt connection through a game which has been taking hours of reading and lot of Bs.
I will say the game is cool tho.
