[Novalug] how to reach a computer through FiOS

For a simpler solution (no fiddling with router configurations) try
ngrok.com .  Basically, you run an application on your host behind the dsl
machine, that connects out to ngrok.com .  You are then assigned a host
name as something.ngrok.com .  Then, on the internet, you can connect to
your host at something.ngrok.com over port 80 .  (What happens is that the
ngrok.com server accepts the connection, the client your running then
responds to that connection request, as it is an open socket, and magic
happens.)  If you sign up for a user account, you can also set up other
ports, such as port 22 for ssh.  If you then donate some money, you can
have a static host name assigned to you in perpetuity.
