Yeah... It "should" be a matter of just setting port forwarding in your router. Just as a heads-up, some routers block loopback connections which could prevent it working when all the settings seem to be correct. My router has an option to enable loopback; it was switched off when I got it. If it's blocked and you can't switch it on, I imagine external port forwarding may work around it. http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers
