On the 'inside the house' side of the network you have a private,

192.168.n.n or 10.n.n.n I've seen both in use by various brands of
wired and wireless routers.
You CANNOT access an address in these ranges from outside that
address range; they're defined as 'non-routable' Routers reject any
request to connect to those addresses.
What? I can't speak from experience but isn't that exactly what port
forwarding is for?
Yes, aka NAT, what the rest of my post described , poorly,I guess.
