Complicated connection issues, hosting a server.
#1

My setup is as follows:
Код:
Internet > Host Computer > ICS > Router > My PC
This works wonders, I have internet etc.
The problem is, I'm not assigned a specific Global IP, and instead I am left with
a local ip: ex. 192.168.2.4

Some might say to go to, ipchicken.com or whatsmyip.
That does indeed give me a ip but it won't link to my PC, instead it links to Host Computer

Код:
                
Internet > Host Computer (globalip) > ICS > Router > My PC (localip)
Port forwarding is not option, I know that normally it would work, but in my case it simply will not.

This creates an issue of connectivity with people outside of my network

Код:
Internet > Host Computer(globalip) > ICS > Router > My PC(192.168.2.4) > Server(192.168.2.4:7777)
Through this setup *my current setup*
anyone who tries to connect outside of my network:
Код:
Internet > Host Computer(GlobalIP) > ICS > Router > My PC(192.168.2.4) > Server(GlobalIP:7777) 

WILL NOT CONNECT because it's attempting to connect to Host Computer Instead.
So The ONLY way I can get someone to join my server, or even connect to my pc outside of my network
is through a VPN (hamachi, tunngle, etc.) Which, is a darn shame, because no one likes to use them.

My question: Is there any work around to this? I have linux, is there any way I can get around my current
setup, without hosting from my Host Computer?

I realize there's almost no hope for me here, but I figured I'd ask who knows what you guys know.
