I recently read about network address port translation and I have a doubt.
Lets say I have a PC(PC1) at 192.168.1.2 under a router with public address 10.74.65.11 . I have another PC(PC2) at 192.168.1.2 under a router with public address 103.14.51.21.



How do I ping PC1 from PC2?
ping 10.74.65.11 would just ping the router, no?
Further if PC1 has a netcat listener on port 5555 then how can PC2 connect to it?

            For the things you are trying to do you need port forwarding.



            With PAT you have one public IP (the IP of the router) and different ports for each communication of the private hosts with outside devices.



            If you send a ping request to the routers public IP, the router will respond. So you must send the ping request to a different Port (for instance 50000) and tell the router to forward these packets to the private hosts IP with the ICMP (a.k.a ping) Port. This is called port forwarding.
