If I have JRiver 30 on my main desktop to listen to music at home, and say JRiver 29 on the Id, how will my iPhone or iPad JRiver software know which to connect to? Thanks for the help.

See the wiki topic called Network Access.  It explains a little about port forwarding.

You could run both but not on the same port. 

The Access Key is specific to the server it's generated on.

Jim, thanks for the response on this a few days ago. I've installed one of my JRiver older versions on my laptop to test access from my phone outside my network. Still confused as to what to enter on my ASUS router to open the port. The possible info fields are:

External Port
Internal Port
Internal IP Address
Source IP

I used whatsmyip.org and have the external address it comes up with. I assume the External Port setting should be 52199 and Internal Port info is not needed. Don't know if "Source IP" field on the ASUS is the same as External IP Address. Newbie stuff, but confusing! Thanks for any help.

You could use the router's manual for that.

Source IP is probably the device on the Internet that is attempting access.  Your phone in your car, for example.  Leaving it blank gives any IP address access.
