IPv4 is OK.

In the NAT/Gaming page, click the "custom services" button. The settings for "Media Center 32" must be there.

Update - I can now access your MC Panel, this works:
http://your-public-ip:52199

You have it open as guest, without user/password. Next step is to add a user/pass in MC settings so that strangers from the internet are not seeing and consuming your collection. This is urgent as these links now work for everyone in this forum.

Thanks.  I've put a password on the guest access - don't remember if I might have opened that up at some point to try to get it to work, or what the default behavior is.

I can now connect using the wifi hotspot / WAN and am prompted for the name and password prior to it loading.

Any idea what changed to make it work suddenly?  I don't recall anything I did earlier today made a difference.

I can still access without user/pass. You need to set both the Authentication and Read-Only Authentication in MC settings to protect it.

Maybe your ISP changed something on their side.

I think I have them both set now.  Can you give it another try?

So, it just started working without us understanding why it wasn't earlier.  Hate it when that happens because you never know when it will stop working for the same reason it wasn't working before.  But I don't know that there's anything we can do to figure out what was the problem at this point.

Now it asks for user/pass.
