[gentoo-user] Pair Programming & Non-Routable IP Address

[Hilco Wijbenga]

Hi all,

I would like to do remote pair programming with somebody on a
non-Linux box. It seems that NoMachine NX or TightVNC would allow me
to do so. Great.

My problem is that I don't have a routable IP address. My ISP gives me
a 192.x.x.x IP which is sort of nice because the bad guys can't see me
... but neither can the good guys. :-) (On top of that I have my own
network with NAT set up so I can share my Internet connection among my
various machines.)

I do have root access to a (Debian) server with a static IP with a
hosting company. So now I'm wondering if I can somehow take advantage
of that static IP address. How would I do that? What would I need to
set up on that server to allow my partner to reach my box?

Cheers,
Hilco
