You don't need to change your subnet mask subnet masks are very important but don't have anything to do with the issue you are experiencing

What is a subnet mask?
You're using a C-class address most of us are using C-class addresses
Code
192.168.0.***/24    
255.255.255.0
Subnetmasks are used to divide subnets demn. my explanation sucks xD

A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (C-class) will give you 253 usable network addresses and this is more then sufficient for most (home)users

Bigger companys often use a higher (B-class or even A-class (10.x.x.x 255.0.0.0)) subnetmask 255.255.0.0 giving them 65.534 usable network addresses

these addresses can be further divided in custom sub-nets 255.255.255.252 will give you 4 IP's (1 network address 1 broadcast address and 2 usable user addresses) this kind of subnetmask is often used for point to point connections etc,...

if you're intrested in subnetting.... i would sugest you take a look at CCNA

Anyway =) you should take a look to port forwarding

Step1:
try to turn of your firewall on your machine. maybe it is blocking your connection.. if it works turn on your firewall again and set an extra rule

Step2:
Does your router supports UpnP try enabling this

Step3:
try to portforward a new port in your router check if this port is open using sites like canyouseeme.org...

Step3.2:
delete the portforward and re-add it.

Step4:
is your ISP blocking certain ports, check this, try changing the ports used by the program. retry all the steps...

Step5:
reset your router try again
