Not being an expert in networking I may be missing something, but I'm
unclear how you can have computers that don't have a public IP (assuming of
course that they have internet access). They must be connected to a router
(to get the lan IP) which is connected to a modem which connects to the
internet and has an IP address. Are these boxes on a private lan with no
external access? Or do they have a dynamic IP and that is the problem? If
dynamic, why not try dyndsn? It works for me.

I'm sure you know what you are doing but something is missing in this
picture - at least as I see it.
