  • What you propose does not sound possible with my situation, as I only have a ADSL router that gives to the plugged in device a DHCP assigned internal IP address. I don't have any external address in my setup, except a personal website with ssh access I could use, but in any case I could not forward anything from this website to the private ip address I obtain at home.

  • You always have a public IP address (myip.dnsomatic.com). If it's not static, you can use DynDNS.

  • What brand ADSL router do you have? It should be capable of port forwarding. If your DSL is residential class, your ISP will probably block a few ports (80, 25, etc.).

  • Of course I have a public IP address, but it's the address of the NAT host, which is managed by my provider. Commented Jul 24, 2009 at 20:14
