[QUOTE="Redrobes, post: 4104085, member: 40793"] I don't generally comment on other VTTs but what you need to do is some port forwarding. See if you can find your router on this list and follow instructions. [url]http://portforward.com/routers.htm[/url] To check you can use GRC's "shields up" (off of one of the menu tabs) which does a port scan of your connection. Get it to do the port number you forwarded (might need to do a custom scan or range - you used to have to) and see if its visible. [url]http://www.grc.com/default.htm[/url] You also need to make sure that the program is set up as a server in the firewall. Also remember that the out side person needs your public IP address not the local / internal one. So a 192.168.x.x one is useless. Read port forward for more info. If it any app works when directly connected but not with the router then this is the issue. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
