WHen I use my actual IP address (not the home network) I get the page setup of my router... any idea what I should do to resolve this??

You would have to use your public IP which is the IP of your router. Your routers public IP address should be on it's status page. This web site gives you your public IP:
http://www.whatsmyip.org/
You could also use a service like
http://www.dyndns.com/ which lets you set up a name like bob.dyndns.com which will route to your public IP. Many routers support updating dyndns automatically if the public dns changes.
Also, you can test using your public IP from inside your LAN. If it connects from home then it should when you are away from home.
