ok, here's a scenario.

Bob makes a server, puts it on his LAN. Bob, Lois and Clark share a flat, so they all use the internal IP. Bert and Ernie have a flat upstairs and access Bob's wireless router directly, so they use the internal IP. Thelma and Louise live across town so they have to come in via the internet, so they have to use the external IP. Assuming default ports on the EQ clients and server, port 5999 has to be opened up or forwarded on the router and/or any dsl/cable "modem" that sits between the EQ server and the internet. I forget whether the remote clients need their router ports forwarded too, as it's 2am and I have barely started n my first cup of wake-up juice.
