Your local IP address is in the private range so I assume you have a
router forwarding AMQP traffic from your static public to your local IP
address. Depending on how your network is set up you should try to
telnet to your static public address from outside your network. This is
not AMQP- or RabbitMQ-specific; the same will happen for HTTP or any
other port.

See the tcp_listeners configuration element in case you want to change
the interface that the broker listens on, though that should not be
necessary. When the broker starts up it will log this as follows:
"started TCP Listener on"
