Per RFC 1918 all the numbers you have listed are all reserved for
private internets and are not to be resolved externally. At some
point you have to have a real address/device from which you can
do port forwarding

External IP/device< -- firwall--dev/192.168.X <---> Internal Network
(eg 205.238.X.X) My external device is ppp0.
If your ISP gave you 192.168.2.2 as your outside address then they
are doing NAT on that number upstream from you.
