Hi, Mike, You need to expose your public IP. A private IP, in the form of 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x is used for your internal NAT'ed network only. This means that every computer on your side of the network, when talking beyond that router, looks like the same machine with the same IP, and that's your ISP provided public IP. Your router manages those outgoing connections for you, but for incoming connections, that's why you have the port forwarding setting on your router.
Again, short answer, you need to allow the public IP since that's what the remote machine will see. Please remember though, your IP is not static unless you pay for it. It will most likely change every time you restart your router. Best, Scott At 8:05 AM -0700 5/14/09, Mike wrote: >Hi all: > >I need to connect to a remote machine over the net.
