Hi , Sorry I'm a newbie , what if I my router doesent have a public IP itself. I mean to say my provider provides me a 192.168.1.x of it's network and internally I have a lan. will I ever be able to access me personal system via router [provided my ISP provider will not change any of it's settings from his end ] . wondering if any kind of dynaDSN or peer to peer can help me to do that . Any Suggestions ?
