All IPv4 IP addresses can be divided into two major groups: global, or public, or external - this group can also be called 'WAN addresses' — those that are used in the internet, and private, or local, or internal addresses — those that are used in the local network (LAN).

At a local public access LAN I can connect locally to the LAN but not to the internet What might be the problem?

It may be blocked by a firewall, or there actually may be some type of problem. You need to check on the router, and the gateway that is being used for Internet access. Check your own settings as well. If the default gateway address is missing then you will not get Internet access no matter what you do.

What type of protocol is used to present a public ip address to computers outside the lan to handle requests to use the internet from computers on the lan?

It depends on what exactly you are doing outside the Lan. It will definitely fall under TCP/IP, but more specifically, you may be using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP.


Can we connect to the tcp server running in the same lan using the public ip rather then using lan ip?

Yes, but the data traffic will traverse the Internet to reach that public IP address. If the server has another network interface in the same subnet as the connecting device, you can constrain the traffic to the LAN. If the connecting device is instructed to use the public IP address to reach the server, the traffic will first travel to the LAN gateway, which determines the best route for the traffic to reach public addresses. Typically, this would be via an ISP that the gateway is somehow connected to. Please specify your goal in your question to get an optimal strategy as an answer.


What is DNS doctoring?

DNS doctoring enables an internal host on a LAN to receive the Private ip of an internal server as an answer from a DNS query when using a DNS server that is outside the LAN, such as on the internet. A static NAT translation must also exist to translate the public IP to the private IP. Without DNS doctoring, the external DNS server will reply with the public IP address of the host on the internal LAN.
