Profilux 3, cannot connect to IP Address when not on wifi

[nsr500rossi]

Johan, i did go to that site but it is all very confusing.

Can i not just setup a static ip address in windows.

I have run config in windows and have all my network details up..

Johan, not sure, just did as Matthias said

"this looks like a local IP?

you need a "global" IP for accessing your home from outside and your router must forward port 80 to 192.168.1.174"

Thanks, i am now going to try to set up a static address, will this work?

Why is this all so damn hard!!!!!

[nsr500rossi]

Ok, so as i am running Parallels on the mac would i have to create a static ip address on the mac or in windows.

In network settings on windows there is no ip address, subnetmask etc, it is just set to auto.

you set the statip ip on the profilux

[nsr500rossi]

I am going to give up.

I have put a static ip on the mac, a static ip on the profilux, i have set up port forwarding to port 80 to the profilux static ip address

I do not no what else to do.

Would have been nice for the team to give us some idea what to do, i have wasted so much time now.

That is your external IP... that's where a dynamic DNS comme in.

I just tried it and it's not working... there is still some configuration missing on the inside of your network.
