you would want to place the IP address of your server in your routers DMZ. This will allow anyone with your external IP address to access the server.

All external IP addresses can be accessed from Internet if they are not blocked by firewalls. In your case this might be the Gateway machine or the firewall machine defending your Lan. You need to open ports in the firewall. Setup NAT rules if it is a packet filter so that your server machine with internal IP can receive the packets from external IP. Get in touch with whoever manages your firewall.

you won't be in a position to attain a private ip quickly from a diff LAN/WAN, it is going to be attainable from the comparable subnet only. the two u might desire to nat ( mapping public ip with inner maximum ip) to be helpful in it. whether it should not be there in universities for safety motives, so this is not achieveable. if u have cyber web get entry to u can get entry to using logmein
