Internet-Ethernet and Local Net

I think the screen your in is for a Static Route. I take back what I said earlier.... I'm using a NetGear router. Here's what mine looks like.

Althought this page was made for an internet file sharing program,
the part about port forwarding in the d-link should be the same.

OK Darrel. That is what was needed! I will try and see how it goes.

Thanks to all.

Unfortunately I cannot connect to the local net. Is it possible that the Firewall on the DSL router prevent access from outside?

I cannot see anything else that might get in the way.

Note that I have installed and keep running the DynDNS Updater and have checked that the current IP is updated on DynDNS. Still, no one outside my local net cannot see that IP.

Router are just pain in the.. to work with. Some brands are just more annoying than others. You might need to set few things in Windows as well. Nice start point is to have a sucessfull communication using VNC server or PC anywhere. Once you have it, better your chances are.

I'll suggest you to go on their websites (Symantec and RealVNC) and look at their FAQ.

One thing you can try as a test, and I say test because it is not a good idea to keep it this way, is to see if your router has a Demiliterized Zone setting. This will point at the IP address of the device on your lan and leave it wide open to the net. This way you can work your way backwards. I'm sure like Steve says, there are probably some other settings in your router that need to be set up. If I can do it, any trained chimp can.

At last! It works OK now.

I understood the problem from the beggining, only I did not know how to set the parameters.

Thanks to Paul for addressing exactly the point I was looking for to setup.

Steve: Yes, routers and modems are really myriads of parameters to set, nobody knows exactly what all this things do, and usually each device has different terminology from others making things even worse.

Rhino: I prefer not to do so even for a second!

Well, you may wonder what fix the problem? Time! Just time. I had to wait a couple of hours for DynDNS to make my settings active...
