Geth remote connection question

[imjustagirl]

Hi, is there anyone who is good with Geth remote connection?
Ok, so I set up my geth console like this
--rpc --rpcport "8545" --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpccorsdomain "*"
After that I should be able to connect from a remote machine using my IP, right?
Like this
geth --rpc attach http://my.ip.add.ress.:8545

I get an error:
Fatal: Failed to start the JavaScript console: api modules: Post http://my.ip.add.ress.:8545: context deadline exceeded

What am I doing wrong?
