Well this is only true if you're not behind a NAT router/firewall and the IP address
given by the above method is the actual external IP address of your network adapter.
Given the inability of your code to connect to a port via this address I suspect it is
not the correct address.
What happens when you replace the call to your get_ip_address function with the hostname
of your machine?

Sorry I have no idea what is wrong with your networking setup.

Try diagnosing and fixing it first without using Pyro at all. Use netcat or whatever to
bind a listening socket and try to connect to it (with telnet).

In its bowels Pyro is doing the same thing and if you can't connect to a socket on the
expected adapter/port/machine, a Pyro program will never work either.
