Router – howt setup remote access into computer behind 2 routers

netgearremote-accessrouter

I can setup remote access to a pc behind a single router/firewall by using NAT and Port Forwarding, simples!

But there is a customer that shares an internet connection with another office, and they are behind a second router firewall. I drawed a picture with my crayons but I can't attach it because I'm a new account on SF. see it here: http://i.stack.imgur.com/b3FDx.png

So how would I setup remote access to the pc that is beind the second firewall?

It must be something about static routes, i.e.

if I hit the wan ip on port 4905
I want it to forward it to 10.0.0.30 by going through 192.168.1.10

so a route statement like for all requests to 10.0.0.30, use 192.168.1.10 ?

and ass u me router 2 has a static gateway ip of 192.168.1.10

and need a standard NAT on router 2 to point port 4905 to 10.0.0.30

is this the right way, any tips?

both routers are netgear consumer equipment.

thanks

Basically you NAT and portforward twice. Once on router2 to get an ip/port on the router1 network and then again on router1 to get onto the internet. Then you connect to the IP that is exposed to the internet and it automatically gets translated and port forwarded to the internal ip. No need for any special routes when it is a single pc like this.
