1. Reaching Behind Router
I'm trying to get two programs to contact each other, but my PC is behind
a router. So, the IP address I get is either for the internal network,
which can't be used by someone outside to contact me, or the IP of the
router, which won't necessarily know to route to my PC.
So, how do I get two PCs communicating with TCP/IP when one or both are
behind routers?

My Windows 2000 workstation connects through a router to another network with a
different subnet. I use the following route add command and put it in a batch
file that runs at boot up: "route add 172.17.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 172.16.1.61".
The command references the starting IP address, subnet mask and router gateway.
You will have to get similar information from your network administrator.
