Well. It's not going to happen for now. I thought I could use my cell phones internet connection to my computer but I guess not. I need to forward some ports and there is no way for me to do this right now. :) Oh well wishfull thinking.

Yea cellphones, or mobile broadband connections does not genarlly offer a fixed IP and without that you'r stuck :(
 
The only way to get that to work would be to use a VPN connection service that offers a fixed IP at their end or switch to a more regular broadband connection.

Let's try one more time. I set it up using a VPN service. Please try telnet to: necrobbs.strangled.net Let me know what results you get please. Thanks to all.

10.x.x.x is still a private address space and not routable or accessable from the internet :( You need a VPN service that gives you a public IP adress, very few do but they exists.
