Internet-Ethernet and Local Net

Paulwoody is right. You need to set up port forwarding on your router so when a request comes in, it gets routed to the proper IP address on your LAN. I use dynDNS so I can see my parallax PINK module from anywhere on the net. Works great.

Thanks for the replys. I did not knew about port forwarding. Do all modem/routers have this option?

Mine is a DSL-584T D-Link type. I will search for this.

Thanks again.

OK. I think I got in part. Look at the attached gif. I don't know what to set at Gateway. Has this something to do with the Device itself?

I'm not sure if all have that option, but I would think Dlink would. I'm using a Dlink router. A quick look at the tech spec for this says" Packet filtering based on port, source IP address,
destination IP address, MAC address (ICMP/TCP/UDP)". Which sounds like it to me. On mine, you set up the port forwarding in the web page in the router for all of the settings.

I think the screen your in is for a Static Route. I take back what I said earlier.... I'm using a NetGear router. Here's what mine looks like.

Althought this page was made for an internet file sharing program,
the part about port forwarding in the d-link should be the same.

OK Darrel. That is what was needed! I will try and see how it goes.

Thanks to all.

Unfortunately I cannot connect to the local net. Is it possible that the Firewall on the DSL router prevent access from outside?

I cannot see anything else that might get in the way.

Note that I have installed and keep running the DynDNS Updater and have checked that the current IP is updated on DynDNS. Still, no one outside my local net cannot see that IP.
