Setting difficulty example is ADDRESS+xxx/yyy.  The "+" sets pseudo-share difficulty (makes graphs smoother or spikier).  The "/" sets share-chain share difficulty.  Setting it below network share difficulty means it will use network difficulty.  Setting it above network difficulty means it will use what you set.
If you're using any Bitmain product, avoid setting the difficulty as a power of 2 (i.e. don't use 256, 512, 1024, etc).  For some reason, their code bugs out and refuses to show Best Share in the UI if you do.

Make sure you set port forwarding with your modem/router.
Forward the following ports on your router to the machine running Bitcoin/p2pool:
8333 - BTC peer network (sharing blockchain)
9332 - so miners can connect to your p2pool node
9333 - p2pool peer network (sharing share-chain)

Tuning P2Pool Here:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153232.0
Code for this goes in bicoin.conf file.
To find this on Windows PC to the right of Ctrl is Windows button but hold that and press R.
Then Type %APPDATA%\Bitcoin and hit enter.
If bitcoin.conf doesnt exist right click>New>wordpad>Save as "bitcoin.conf" set save as type>all files and delete .txt

More Code for windows make short cut to desktop of "run_p2pool.exe - Shortcut"
Right click then click Properties
In Target window You can add more code found under Option Reference Here:https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool LOOK Below For Example
F:\Users\Desktop\p2p\p2pool_win32_13.4\run_p2pool.exe --irc-announce --iocp --address 1Mz7ZHxPhoH1ZK2yQvo62NdHvvsS2quhzc --fee 1 --give-author .5

Couple quick suggestions for edits:

Setting difficulty example is ADDRESS+xxx/yyy.  The "+" sets pseudo-share difficulty (makes graphs smoother or spikier).  The "/" sets share-chain share difficulty.  Setting it below network share difficulty means it will use network difficulty.  Setting it above network difficulty means it will use what you set.

If you're using any Bitmain product, avoid setting the difficulty as a power of 2 (i.e. don't use 256, 512, 1024, etc).  For some reason, their code bugs out and refuses to show Best Share in the UI if you do.

9332 - so miners can connect to your p2pool node
9333 - p2pool peer network (sharing share-chain)

Please note that if you have any bandwidth restrictions, opening up these ports can consume quite a bit of it.  Further, opening up the ports will increase your total data usage quite a bit since you'll be sharing the blockchain and share chain.

The URL is wrong... that's not a public IP address.  That's your internal network.  If you're using DDNS, you don't need to provide your IP anyway .
