    I want to connect/access counter strike 1.6 servers and some other resources which are on a LAN from the Internet. The LAN host does not have Internet available.

    Obviously the first thing is to get a connection with the internet, such as a via a cable modem and wireless router or gateway server. Once you can access the internet from your server several steps are involved to make your server available from outside:

    1. Set up a static IP for the server you want to access - this involves setting the IP on the server and reserving that IP in the DHCP on your gateway.
    2. On the gateway port-forward the appropriate application to this static IP. The specific port to forward depends on the application to want to access from outside.
    3. Use a service such as dyndns.org to manage the mapping of the URL you will use from outside to the IP address assigned by your ISP for your gateway. Your router should have a dynamic DNS management function, so that it can inform DynDNS.org what its current IP address is.

    Obviously the details for each step depend on the specific model of router and the OS on your server.
