Hello,
I have a problem, I use my NAT address to access my server when I'm in the internal network, but right now I'm outside of our network and I'm wondering if there's a way to translate the internal IP addr. to the external one...the one for TCP/IP.
Thanks

It's a web server, what ip do the people on the outside world use to access it?

You do it the same way, cept with telnet, ssh, ftp, whatever.

You web server is also probably NATed
behind a firewall/router. Either ask your
sys admin for your public IP or if you have
internet access from inside the network,
visit www.whatismyip.com to find it out.
