How to solve this problem

J

I have a client that is a part of a local network.This client has a
local address( not public).Is there a way how I can connect to this
client from outside world?
What software must I install so that I can connect and control that
client from outside?

Thanks

Presumably you are using NAT (Network Address Translation). You'll
need to arrange for a port (or a set of ports) to be forwarded to that
computer, which is done by configuring your NAT router. In a simple
home network, this usually means logging in using the router's home
page, such as http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ (it'll be the
same as your default gateway); otherwise, talk to your network admin
about it.

The port or ports that you need to forward will depend on what you
mean by "connect and control". For SSH, that's port 22; for VNC, port
5900. Other services are on other ports.

By the way, this is a networking question, not a Python one.

How is that a Python problem? Ask your network admin to configure something
like port forwarding.

Also, take a look at Eric S. Raymond's essay on asking smart questions,
there are at least three things detailed there which you are doing wrong and
where you are standing in your own way.

Good luck!

When you say the client's address is "not public", what do you mean
exactly? Can the client initiate connections to the outside network?
Is the client behind a firewall?
What software must I install so that I can connect and control that
client from outside?

Perhaps you should ask your network administrators.

And what does this question have to do with python?
