 	Heya. Yes, your Linksys router is a NAT'ing router, and
you'll need to setup port-forwarding on it to access a VNC Server
that's behind it. Details of that here:

 	Once you're done making those adjust, you can test them
by opening a webpage to www.GoToMyVNC.com and running the scan
there.

 	As for getting the "true internet-routable IP", your Linksys
router (if it's a new one) probably has a "dynamic DNS" client built
into it. Just need to get that setup. One VNC users account of that
process is here:

 	Hope that helps!
