On the 'inside the house' side of the network you have a private,
non-routing IP address range, your own LAN. Typically they're either
192.168.n.n or 10.n.n.n I've seen both in use by various brands of
wired and wireless routers.

You CANNOT access an address in these ranges from outside that
address range; they're defined as 'non-routable' Routers reject any
request to connect to those addresses.

What? I can't speak from experience but isn't that exactly what port
forwarding is for?

Yes, aka NAT,  what the rest of my post described , poorly,I guess.

Not at all, it's just my density. ;-)
