xBANEx - LOL.. I agree. Um Greg, you're basically asking for a networks 101 course in an email. What I would suggest is picking up a "TCP/IP for Dummies" book and start with that. It should start off pretty basic and may answer most of your questions.
Hint - The reason that 192.168.0.2 won't work on the internet is because that's an internal IP address for your network. You need the IP address of the router and you need the router to be able to forward the packets to your machine. Good luck.
