can't reach my box from the net

[p4p4]

.. well, here comes yet anther one...

some diagnostics first:
you say i am : 82.113.106.24

ipconfig(sorry, german output..):
PPP-Adapter Internet (Prepaid):
Verbindungsspezifisches DNS-Suffix:
IP-Adresse. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.73.39.138
Subnetzmaske. . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Standardgateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.73.39.138

pfportchecker says i am 10.73.39.138,
but all ports are closed.

i can ping 10.73.39.138 from my box.
i can access all tcp services running on my box
on that address, even from a virtual pc, but only if i try this from my machine.

i cannot ping 10.73.39.138 from a remote box.
i cannot ping 82.113.106.24 from anywhere.

if i tracert google.de, the first hops are:
1 1342 ms 245 ms 256 ms 82.113.103.169
2 231 ms 265 ms 255 ms 82.113.107.226
3 251 ms 248 ms 265 ms 82.113.103.26
4 264 ms 265 ms 266 ms IARFRA1-Gi0-2-199.net.de.o2.com [82.113.103.34]

so i assume, 82.113.106.24 is NOT my ip, but the first router of my isp (o2.com).

what can i do ? any help welcome.

82.113.x.x is your external IP address. Not every external IP will respond to a ping....this is a security measure. The 10.x.x.x IP is your internal IP address.

Reading this thread should explain further.

PPP-Adapter...

So you are using some sort of PPTP connection I'm guessing. If this is the case, all the NAT and routing functions from the internet are out of your control and you will not be able to access your machine from the outside without your ISP's help.

wow, thanks.
i already suspected, my isp is blocking all incoming connections, but thought '.. hey, this is paranoid..'

thank you for clarifying this hopeless situation, anyway.

them blocking your incoming connections is just all part of the type of connection they gave you

its not that they are doing it out of control, its just that they would have to put in EXTRA effort to support incoming connections with PPTP that they just wouldnt do it unless you bring it up to them
