Actually, it is *exactly* the same. There is no difference at all.
There is... you go through at least one (and probably dozens) of routers if
you're trying to access a drive over the Internet. Although "the Internet at
large" will generally pass any TCP/IP traffic on any port, it's not at all
unusual that particular ISPs have some ports blocked or that, if the machine
in question is behind a NAT gateway, the NAT isn't configured to route the
appropriate ports to the appropriate machine on the LAN.
