Presumably you are using NAT (Network Address Translation). You'll
need to arrange for a port (or a set of ports) to be forwarded to that
computer, which is done by configuring your NAT router. In a simple
home network, this usually means logging in using the router's home
page, such as http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ (it'll be the
same as your default gateway); otherwise, talk to your network admin
about it.

The port or ports that you need to forward will depend on what you
mean by "connect and control". For SSH, that's port 22; for VNC, port
5900. Other services are on other ports.

By the way, this is a networking question, not a Python one.
