Answer:
192.168.1.2:25565 is just your local IP address which means that he can only connect to that IP if he's at the same local network as you. Go to www.checkmyip.com and copy the IP address from there. That's your Public IP address which your friend need to have. Note that if your computer is behind a router (it probably is) you need to port forward the port 25565 so it goes directly to your computer. If you don't do this then the server won't work. Google "router name" + "port forward" and see if you understand it.
