Since you're accessing the worlds using an external IP as opposed to an internal IP you have to make sure ports 2000 and 1000 are both open to outside connection. You can test if this is the problem by changing the IP you're using to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1', if the communication is successful you have a port fowarding issue.

I just tried your code locally and it works fine.

In response to Nadrew
It does not work localy I was testing my exterrnal ip at the time and forgot to switch it back.


I fixed it...
I was using http:// when it needs byond://
