I have a similar (but different!) problem to the last question.

I have a slightly unusual internet connection in which my PC is connected to a wireless router which is itself connected to another wireless router which connects to the outside world. This second router is 7km away, connected over a wireless link, which is why I can't follow the advice in the previous question.

I shall be going on a long trip shortly and I want to be able to 'get at' my PC from the internet. Although I have fixed IP addresses at all points, I'm not sure how to set up things so that I can talk to my PC from afar.

I think I have to set up port-forwarding on both routers, but despite some Googling, I'm more confused now than I was at the start! The two main things I want to do specifically is to be able to monitor a couple of video cameras connected to my PC and to access a 'mini web server' on an interface card on my local network.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to go about this, please?
