I have set up the android app to be used remotely via a no-ip account. Whilst it takes a long time to start and can be juttery, this is probably due to my LAN upload speed (~500kbps) being a bit marginal. However, I want to also access the web interface via an ipad (which doesn't have the app) and assumed that this would just work - like it does locally. I have set the browser url to myname.np-ip.biz:80 but that returns "Sorry we could not find . . ." message. How come tha app can use the dyndns route but the browser cannot?

Have you looked in your OpenWebif Configuration to see if everything is enabled and you are using the correct ports ?
Are all ports needed open in the router ?
-
Openwebif is configured:
Yes
80
no
8001
yes
433
noPorts 80, 8001 and 8002 are forwarded correctly.
What I don't understand is how the app gets in, but the browser asking for the url of the no-ip address gets "not found". If there were a problem I would expect "access denied" or some such thing.

Hi,
First check to do is to test if your no-ip returns you the right IP.
Use a ping or nslookup if you can.Some browser doesn't like that you add :80 at the end, simply use: http://no-ip....
Moreover some ISP block access to port 80, so it is better to open-up another random port and have your router make a port redirection between this random port and your internal real port which is TCP 80.Pr2

Thanks for helping.
ping definitely is returning the correct ip address. However, the appearance has now changed!! Using either method of addressing (the original and your recommendation) now rather than getting "not found" (which was an ISP message) I get asked for authentication (progress!!) but not for Solo2 but for the router??!!?? Don't understand. Any help?

Hi,
Something goes wrong in your port redirection, you need to redirect external port to your STB internal IP and port 80. Do you try to reboot your router?

Have rebooted router, pinged to confirm address has been updated in no-ip, but still I am directed to the router. I have a TP-Link router and cannot see how I can perform a port redirect. I have changed the http port on openwebif to 8005 and forwarded that port to the Solo2 in the router - but that just gives me "Cannot connect . . ". For some reason, port 80 is grabbed by the router. However, I thought the app would still need to use port 80 and it has no trouble. Any other ideas, or is this now a router issue?
-
SORTED!!
Stupid me. The problem was I was going externally from the same network that the Solo2 resides in - and this was confusing the router. Once I came in from a different network it all worked as expected! So thanks for your patience on this.
