Actually it would help. Maybe you didn't read the long answer,
or mostly likely you didn't have the necessary knowledge to understand
that (and I'm pretty sure you're in this case because of the way you
use the word "inside" instead of "behind"). And my link for you is
exactly for the situation where your PC is behind a router.
As to your remark that this "common problem" got little help,
well, .... they've got answer, haven't they?
Anyway, since you've got your solution, that's good for you.
