I have vsftpd set up at my home PC. I use a airtel broadband connection with a router, hence I have a public IP address and then a private IP address, none of which is static. Locally I can access my FTP through my private IP address, I wanted to know how would I access my computer though a remote location. I'm pretty sure
ftp://xx.xx.x.xx // my public IP wont work
You have to go into your router settings and give your PC a static local IP address. Then tell your router that every incoming request for ftp (usually port 21) is to be directed to that local IP address.
Specific instructions would be hard because every router is different and they all have a habit of changing their gui every chance they get.
Really surprised no one's answered this yet. Rocket science it's not.

Clients are connecting to private servers using OpenVPN, currently using raw IPs (172.X.X.X) but I would like to point more user-friendly subdomains (something.ourdomain.com) to those private IPs
Key is to
Not make our private topology public, so binding subdomains to a public DNS is not an option
Be able to push new settings to all clients efficiently, so modifying local hosts-files whenever a private IP updates could potentially be cumbersome
Not tie the routing to a specific local hardware, so doing the routing on say e.g. our office router is not really an option
Any suggestions how to achieve this considering the above points? Set-up a private DNS? Do the routing in OpenVPN?
1) Set-up private DNS server(s)
2) Push DNS server to your OpenVPN clients by addding
push "dhcp-option DNS 172.X.X.X"
to your OpenVPN server configuration (where 172.X.X.X is private IP address of your DNS server)

On my home network there is printer I want to print from. I know the the local IP of my printer at home, and I know the IP address of my home router.
From a different location, is there any way I can access the printer with these pieces of information?
From inside the network (while you're connected to your router at home) that would be enough information. However from outside the network, the firewall on the router would have to be set up. The place you would want to set up would be the Port Forwarding feature of your router.
While at home:
1) Login to your router
2) Look for something like "Port Forwarding/Port Triggering", "WAN", "Firewall" or something like that. It will be different on different routers.
3) Most of the time the default port for network printers is 9100 so you can set up traffic coming into the router on port 9100 to be forwarded to the printer's IP address. This is why it's called "Port Forwarding" because you're forwarding traffic on that port.
4) Once that's set up you'll have to set up a printer on your computer and use the public IP address of your home router. For example, it will be something other than "192.168.x.x".
There you have it!

When my PC is connected to Network, I will be getting couple of IP address.
1.) Modem Private IP address (will be like 192.168.1.3)
2.) ISP address (by searching "My ip address" in google it gives me my global IP address)
My roommate who is connected to same modem is able to ping my global IP address but not other person who is connected to different network, why??
Is there anyway that in ISP they block ICMP Packets?? So that no one be able to ping other machine ?? or do they use different routing instances for different sectors??
If we want a global IP address for my PC so that anyone can login/ping what should I enable??
Your router/modem gets a dynamic IP from ISP whenever you connect it to Internet. This address as name says is changing. If you want a constant public IP from ISP, you must request ISP for the same. This comes at a very high cost and not recommended unless you are serving a high revenue generating data on that machine.

I have a wamp server running on my computer.
I can connect to the server with my iPad on Safari by running the ip address, 192.168.1.108 (this is the ip of the wireless network connection).
Both the tablet and the computer are connected to a Cisco router.
I wanted to know how to connect the tablet to the server with a name rather that the ip address 192.168.1.108. How do I do this?
You must use a name resolver; options are:
Hosts file on your OSs (all devices)
DNS
Other resolvers (e.g. WINS)
The most viable way for such a small environment is configuring Hosts file.

Hi I have developed a website and is on a machine(localhost), I want a friend to access it from outside my network, I have done some research and am being pointed to port forwarding as a solution. Any good links I can refer too will be highly appreciated.
Not a programming question, but how to setup your router.
The router, especial the adsl modems that you probably use, they not forward outside request to inside network, for security and because they are not know where to send them.
So on the setup of your router you need first of all forwarder the outside calls to your pc.
Now, this have two parameters, what port send to what inside ip.
How to forward ports on your router page with images and examples.
Let say that you have a pc behind the router at ip 192.168.1.100, and setup there a local iis on 80, then you need to setup the router so when is accept call on port 80, to send it to 192.168.1.100
Now you need to know what ip to give to your friend to try to make call to you, you can find it using the http://www.whatismyip.com/ The ip they see you outside is the one your friend must type on browser.
And then need to make your iis run, and allow your pc firewall to accept calls on port 80.
#Aristos gave you the answer. But have in mind that some internet providers block port 80 so you might have to change to 88 for example. And your friend will access it as
http://your_external_ip:88
