title: Plastic SCM server access outside home network
body: <p>I have installed Plastic SCM server in one of my PCs at home (Windows 7 - Home Prem). The server is accessible from the clients residing inside my home network. It is resolved using the home network PC name as the server address / visible name. </p>
  
  <p>However, I would like to be able to have access to the server from outside the home network. Ideally, I would like to use the IP that has been assigned to the PC, by the ISP, where the server resides. I can deal with the intermittent IP address changes. The PC is just a regular, personal use PC (i.e. not configured as a server).</p>
  
  <p>A couple of questions: Is this possible to access Plastic SCM server from outside the home network using the IP address that the ISP assigns to the PC where PSCM-Server resides?</p>
  
  <p>Second, the server config tool automatically displays as the visible name of the PC, the name assigned in the home network. It does not allow me to enter an IP address. If the answer to the first question is yes, how can I enter the desired IP address? </p>
  
  <p>Are there any configurations that must be in place on Windows 7 (Home Premium), perhaps? </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
