Ok, here's what you need to do: read the official README in its entirety, and if you encounter an issue, pause. Search the thread here for help with whatever you're stuck on, and/or post here with your question. Don't just press on.
Next, you need to provide a bit more information. If you're entering an IP address, it needs to be your WAN IP, not the local IP your router gives the device on which Kodi is running. Your router should be configured to port forward to this address. I'm not asking you to divulge your IP address here, but I am asking you to at least give us a 'yes' or 'no' answer to this question: are you providing your WAN IP and the forwarded port to the slot generator and the skill itself (in the .env file)?
Third, what does this mean:
There should not be two IP addresses involved in this. You are trying to get the slot generator and the skill to connect to Kodi -- both of which are connecting from the internet (i.e., not from inside your LAN/house/whatever). So point them at your WAN IP and whatever port you've opened and forwarded on your router.
