When creating the torrent,
When creating the torrent, do exactly as you have done and use the IP you'll find at www.whatismyip.com ... let us assume that this is 1.2.3.4 and you have port 5678 open ... then you would use the following tracker:
http://1.2.3.4:5678/announce
Now for the tricky bit. Your computer will try to connect to that IP on that port to start seeding, but it can't because you can only use that IP address from outside your house. So, firstly the torrent file you have is now sorted, so distribute this to your friend(s).
For this to work, your computer needs to connect to the tracker as well, so double click the file in the list within µTorrent and it will show the tracker. Change the 1.2.3.4 to read localhost instead.
This means the tracker now reads:
http://localhost:5678/announce
Press OK and the red circle will disappear. Voila.
Re: Outside
Well, if other people can connect to it from the internet, I assume you'd be able to connect to it by following the same route. I've never tried it, but I think that if you can't connect to your IP, then noone else can, either.

Sorry I should also add that
Sorry I should also add that if you're behind a router, your request for your own IP goes into the router which then rejects the request as it comes back, thinking that the recipient cannot also be the sender. It thinks it is some kind of hacking activity and blocks the connection. This is why on your own machine you need to specify that you are connecting to yourself for the tracker. The router will otherwise block you from reaching yourself.
