connecting to a computer behind NATing
hello
i have one laptop connected to a camera and a GPRS modem. this device will connect to the internet using the mobile network and it can be in any place in the street. in the control room, i have an internet connection with a static IP address. my problem is in the laptop because it does not have a static or dynamic IP address on the internet (the mobile network use NATing). now i am running a server process on the laptop and i want to connect to it from the control room. i do not know how can i reach the laptop IP address.
regards

in my application for the client to connect to the server(laptop) to get video from the server side, it write
.DisplayRemote ServerIPAddress, True
is these sites will offer a way for doing that?

Can You connect with ssh to some internet server? If so, then ssh is able to forward ports.
First You creating persistent ssh connection from Your laptop to public.server with port forwarding, say
ssh -g -C -R 1222:localhost:22 public.server
now, if You connect to public.server from internet in a way
ssh -p 1222 public.server
it will forward the traffic to your laptop port 22 - ssh!
Need more clarification? Ask.

what i will write in the ServerIPAddress in the following command
.DisplayRemote ServerIPAddress, True

I don't know what port is beeing used in the connection, but assume 1234
from Your laptop to publicServer.domain.com
ssh -g -C -R 1234:localhost:1234 publicServer.domain.com
You could set up passwordless login here (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ssh+without+password)
then
.DisplayRemote publicServer.domain.com-Se
from Your laptop to publicServer.domain.com
ssh -g -C -R 1234:localhost:1234 publicServer.domain.com

i am not expert in this subject so one by one with me plz
ASKER
i am using windows not linux
I already explained: from You laptop.
If Your laptop runs windows use http://www.cs.uu.nl/technical/services/ssh/putty/puttyfw.html
The server have to have ssh server installed. All unixes have this by default.
Also - You have to have the public server available - the name I provided is just example.

>> The server have to have ssh server installed
from where i can install it for windows?

If You can't cooperate with Your ISP - You have to forward the traffic with third server(acts as proxy). Sorry.
If You need direct connection either ask ISP to get public IP (or port forwarding) or change ISP.

1. what is SSH means?
2. but i will connect from the control room computer to the laptop which provide the service. who should have putty and who should have ssh server???

2. Since You can't connect to Your laptop initially, the connection have to initiated from laptop to control.

Your laptop is behind ISP's nat. Right. You can't connect to it? Right? But You can connect from the laptop to control. Right?
The idea is simple: connect from laptop to control, and forward back-connections within the same connection. That';s wat the ssh port forwarding does.

sorry but i found that my control room PC is under NATing too
what can i do?

Then You have to find another one to act as a proxy, or You will not get what You want.
ASKER
plz more details
What details? I explained quite a lot. What exactly trouble You encountering now?
ASKER
about the proxy. is there any free proxy u know to do that?
ASKER
i do not want security. i want only to reach the server laptop
> about the proxy. is there any free proxy u know to do that?
No.
No.

ans also u said:
from Your laptop to publicServer.domain.com
ssh -g -C -R 1234:localhost:1234 publicServer.domain.com
and many others things
please tell me the final thing i can do. if the control computer has static IP address and the laptop is behind NATing and i will try to get a fixed IP address for the control room computer.

You can't do it. There is technique that makes it possible for udp, but I guess You need regular statefull connection.

install ssh server on Your control
install putty on Your laptop
use http://www.cs.uu.nl/technical/services/ssh/putty/puttyfw.html to configure putty to forward proper port
connect with putty to control
write: .DisplayRemote ControlIPAddress, True
install putty on Your laptop
use http://www.cs.uu.nl/technical/services/ssh/putty/puttyfw.html to configure putty to forward proper port
connect with putty to control
write: .DisplayRemote ControlIPAddress, True
ASKER
i can not write this ".DisplayRemote ControlIPAddress, True"
i want the control to connect to the laptop not the reverse

Then You can't do it. OK. There's a workaround(I provided). If You don;t like it - then You can;t.
ASKER
the problem is not if i am like or not. i am using an ocx for video called videocapX and it only supports connection from the client(control room) to the server (laptop having the camera). what can i do?
If You read whole thread carefully You will notice, that connecting to control on forwarded port in fact makes connection to the laptop.

u said many things and as i told u i am not expert in this case.
now u have the final situation. can u tell me what can ido finally?
