You can't send a packet addressed to i.e. 192.168.1.2 oder the Internet, sure. But that wasn't what we were talking about either. You can connect to the device that's behind a nat and has that ip address. I've linked to one of the best known strategies for that, hole punching.

Feel free to read that to broaden your horizon
