Re: [OT] Connecting to my home PC from the intranet

most adsl routers will not allow incoming sessions unless configured. What
you need to configure is a port redirection (might be under NAT menu) so
when something on the internet tries to talk to your public ip on say port
80 (web) , you need to tell it the private ip to redirect it to

so as an example, you should have a menu somewhere on your adsl router
called port redirection like this

public port        destination ip    destination port
80                   192.168.0.2        80

this will redirect any incoming traffic from the internet to 192.169.0.2,
port 80. You of course redirect it to different port on the PC

public port        destination ip    destination port
80                   192.168.0.2        2034


hope this helps

Adrian
