Yes, but you have to configure your router to forward the traffic to the target machine.

Allow Remote Desktop connections from outside your home network[^]

Hi Dave, Thanks for sincere efforts for helping me out. I am developing a generic solution like teamviewer and logmein where customer needs not to do port forwarding.

Your application is going to have to be written to do it for the customer. There is simply no way around that.

It's done using what's called UPnP. There's an article here on CP that shows how to do it without using any libraries: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/27992/NAT-Traversal-with-UPnP-in-C.

You can find more information about it: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=c%23%20router%20upnp
