Silly question... are you trying to use your LAN IP address remotely? You know
you have to use the *external* IP address of your router, not the internal IP
address of your Mac. There are a number of sites which will tell you what
your external IP address is, but the one *I* like is
http://www.whatismyip.com. If you need to access the Mac from outside on a
regular basis, you can sign up for a free dynamic DNS service such as
no-ip.com or dyndns.org. ZoneEdit.com also provides free Dynamic DNS service.
In any event, you'll need to run some sort of script to update the DNS with
your external IP on a regular basis.
