The router will have a static/global IP address but everything behind it will be connecting through the router via NAT. So, my question is, is there any way to get into (telnet or ssh) my box behind the router from outside? Is there some sort of tunneling protocol/tool to do this? If so, what happens if I want to connect two boxes is the same situation (behind NAT routers)? Is is still possible? Is is interoperable with Windows and Linux? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, --Rainer
