Basically you only have to replace the server name in your connection string with either the public
IP or the name (if it is known to an DNS Server) of your Server.
E.g say your connection string FDBSERVER:YourAlias becomes 217.226.203.136:YourAlias.
Or if you use for example DynDns it could be blumy.dyndns.org:YourAlias.
In both cases you have to set your router to route all packets arriving at port 3050 to the IP of
your server. This rule has to be defined in the router, you can find the settings under Virtual
Server or NAT.
