Excuse the (late) top post. 1 MTNL provides a static ip. U have to fax them a request for static ip. Rs.1000/- p.a. 2 Dlink dsl502T has advanced - virtual server settings to allow incoming / outbound connections
As stated by Saswata dyndns is workable but not completely reliable imo. Better to take the static ip. I have a number of services running smoothly at clients. Make sure u have suitable security.
