TCP Port Connection

[deboy69]

Perfect thanks
on apex network tab
DHCP disabled
ip address 192.168.1.100 (or whatever isnt taken double check on router table to make sure something doesnt have it needs to be 192.168.1.1XX) Mines 100
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.10
DNS will be whatever is in that DNS tab of your mac ip information window above verbatim

Also if you have a head unit on your apex you can look at the ip setting on the head unit itself to know what ip address it already has

This is the updated Apex configurations based on your suggestions Deboy. Does everything look right? For me to remotely access in on my phone what address do I need to type in to get there, to test it?

 

[deboy69]

Is the IP address already assigned to your apex controller? 250 is a little high of an ip address. But it could work. For port i use 8080

 

[opakapaka]

Ok I have changed the IP of the Apex to be 192.168.0.150 and a Port of 8080, anything I need to change on my router to reflect these changes?

 

[deboy69]

Yes look for a single port forwarding tab in your router settings. and put your ip address and port # and chose both udp and tcp and make sure you save it.

 

[opakapaka]

Like so?

 

[deboy69]

Looks Okay.

Did you sign up for a DDNS service

 

[opakapaka]

Yes.

 

[deboy69]

and you can access you controller by typing in http://192.168.0.150:8080 edited

On a side note how is your internal network connected via which way?Is it Cable/DSL Modem --->Router-->APEX or Cable/DSL Modem--->Apex

 

[opakapaka]

Cable/DSL Modem --->Router-->NetGear Wireless Adapter (wnce2001) --->Apex

Still no luck logging into it on my phone.

 

[deboy69]

Ya i was afraid of that. Do you know by chance if your Modem is setup in bridge/transparent mode?

 

[deboy69]

Most likely your cable modem is probably blocking your port forwarding which we set up on your router. Youll have to log into your router and setup port forwarding in your modem

 

[opakapaka]

So I was able to get into my comcast modem/router and tried to add a port forwarding to it with these parameters:

and this is the error message that I get:

 

[deboy69]

I would Find a tab called DMZ in your cable modem and add 192.168.0.10 to it

 

[opakapaka]

got it

 

[deboy69]

are you able to access it yet?

 

[opakapaka]

I meant I got the last part where I have to enter the dmz, no not yet.

 

[deboy69]

are you able to check to see if your port is open
