Hi Folks, I’m always hesitant to use the forum because I figure the answer must be staring me in the face ten times over and I don’t want to seem like a dolt…but here goes:
I cannot webgizmo going. I know I’m supposed to configure my router to allow access to port 52199, but I honestly have no idea how to do this. Bob writes this:
“I can't tell you anything about that specific router but in general you will want to do this:
Port forward 52199 to the server PC's lan address.
That lan address should be fixed, either a static address or a static DHCP lease.
Port forwarding by default forwards the address and port on the wan interface of the router to the destination you put into the port forward.
For example, if my outside (internet) ip address is 1.2.3.4 and my PC's lan address is 192.168.0.3 then the port forward looks like this:
1.2.3.4:52199 -> 192.168.0.3:52199
In some cases it's possible to have a different destination port than the source port but that is NOT your aim here.”
But I confess I need more specific and detailed instructions, and I mean really idiot-proof details. Any help would be much appreciated. (And I fear I may need more help even after getting past this hurdle…you have been warned!)
Many thanks!
