remote PC --> internet --> router --> specific PC in LAN

im sori but i don't know what i would put in the subject.

i need help in accessing my pc from a remote computer via web then into my router then to my pc.

What i know is that the internet IP is given to my router. Before, i was directly connected to the web, so I just used the internet IP to access and test my php from a remote pc somewhere. But now, I have a private IP given by the router that my PC is behind of.

How can i access my PC?

i have tried accessing my pc its files and its desktop at homeven im very far away.. using keep in touch software.. and connection to it using any computer with internet around the world or using my cellphone or PDA... I just need to go to:

http://locator.01com.com

then i can access it remotely....

dude... u are putting up a website right?
if you are...
since you have a router
then you have to open ports on it directing to your server
thats the only way you can set up ur server

@zeries
yep, php mysql.
how do i open ports directing to my server?
ex (fictional):
myIP: 192.168.1.50
myRouter's IP: 124.100.100.2

what router are you using?
you can access your router...
then set port 80 and then the IP of your PC where the server is

:mrgreen: its pretty easy.. u just use the NAPT feature of ur router and point all outside request to your private IP. (port forwarding ba) tell me wat kind of router u use so i can help u pag setup. its really easy. YM nako: d_zaint23 -- > just pm me.

careful gyud especially wen ur going to use port 80 coz mostly mao na ang sipyat sa people. port 80 by default is being used by the router para sa iya management. so if ur going to use port 80 make sure u change the default port for router management to a different port number.

free ni sya bro?

dude port 80 for management will only work if it is enabled...
by defualt on all routers it is disabled...
port 80 is also for http...
so it is actualy safe..

forwarded pot 80 and i can now access my PC from the net. but what about if i access another pc? only i can have the port 80?

what i mean is, if i have forwarded 80 for my PC, what other ports can i use for the other PC in my LAN?

let's say, for example, two of us (behind the router) are web app devs and we each have our own testers and the testers need to access our servers for testing.
