You will have to configure the router to foreword the given port to an
internal IP address.  If you can't configure the router, then you may be
SOL, unless the router is automatically forwarding the port to a DMZ.

No, it won't auto discover this.  You have to tell it which internal IP
address to go to.


Do you have a router between your cable modem and your pc?
