If your Local IP allows you to join, but your Public IP does not, its most likely caused by your Router not forwarding ports to your server, Google your Routers model name and put portforward after it and see if there is instructions on your particular model.
You will need certain details such as your computers private IP (local) so open up Command prompt, and type IPconfig
look for your network interface, mine was Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2 with the IP 192.168.0.2
If those work and you're trying to join with your public IP address then you will need to portforward to allow connections to port 25565 (minecraft)
Let me know if this has helped!
Good luck
