OK here is what I am trying to do. I will have a private network setup through a wireless router with private IP addresses ie 192.168.1.100. All but one of the PCs will access a PHP/MYSQL database on this network through a web browser. I have one pc at a remote location that will have to access it through the internet via an aircard. It will not have a ip address assigned via the wireless router. Is there a way for a pc to access a specific pc on a private network with private IP addresses?

I don't know what you mean by an 'aircard' However, the router can be contacted at its WAN IP when it is connected to the Internet. Port forwarding on it then routes the remote computer to the computer with the DB. If you don't have an assigned fixed IP, then the router should support dynamic DNS for this to be practical. Many do support DDNS.
