Basically, I've got two computers here and want to create a direct connection between the two.
I havn't got any network cables and all I got is two ISDN lines!
Is there a way, or a program I can download so that I can make a nice long connection between them?
I want to play Red Alert 2 against the computer next to me, and this is the only way that might work!
Need help quick!
Save me!

Erm, of course they can you muppet, that's the whoel point of them - there are no external IP addresses in that range, so when you go to, say, 10.0.0.1, you're gauranteed to hit the computer on your LAN instead of some random one on the Internet. Jesus, some people.

Ok, maybe you misunderstood my point, but I see that maybe my explanation may have misled you. Ok so you use your server machine as a proxy server but this is acting like a router, ie it's IP address must have an IP address given to it by your ISP. That's it's public (internet) facing side and your proxy server then lets you connect via your internal IP address scheme on your LAN side.
You wouldn't be able to connect to the internet using your internal address scheme.
Router or Proxy Server still the same principle.

Erm, no... I have a LAN of 3 PC's connected to a hub. It is also connected to the Internet. You only need use a router if you want to connect the net connection directly to the hub - we just use the server machine as the net gateway to run a proxy server.

Just like to add a few points here
1. You really shouldn't dish out your IP address, especially if it's an external address, hackers will love you :-(
Goto the link below and put in the IP address listed by Avatar earlier and you will see that it is a Pipex address.
http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois
81.86.120.75
2. Turbonutter, although you say it definitely starts 10.0.0.0 well anyone can use that IP range on a home or business LAN as long as this does not interact with the outside connection. The 10, 192 & 127 schemes are reserved for businesses and home users to use but they cannot be used to interact with the internet. It doesnt really matter which scheme you use either in business or home, there is no advantage or disadvantage over using the 10 scheme compared to the 192 scheme.
If your home or business LAN then want's to access the Internet you will require a router with it's own IP address assigned to it by your ISP, eg PIPEX 82.x.x.x
3. You can't have a computer IP address on your LAN ending in 0 or 255 as these are reserved. Your computers must have an IP address ending anything between 1 and 254 or you will have problems.

External, it's a Pipex IP address.
Scarily close to mine, but that's totally OT..
