Accessing webif from outside network.

Can you just tell us bud if this is to access oscam webif?? or openwebif plugin????

No problem buddy,

This guide should help you out: Remote Access - Remotely access your reciever

You don't put a IP addy into the dyndns host bud, your dyndns host address will allow access to your home network/server from outside so that when your ip provider changes your ip addy (which they do regularly) the host updates with it so that you can still connect. Your dyndns name will need to be added in the router somewhere, if you want to access your duo from outside then you would open the port in your router that you have set in the openwebif settings, then in your router you assign the ip addy of the duo to that port in your router. Then you use the dyndns host address with the port number on the end if it to access that device from outside your network.

i.e http://yourhostname.dyndns.org:12345

Yep that's basically it bud, when you choose a host name your dyndns will pick up the ip addy being provided by your isp, one thing to watch though, not all routers update the dyndns automatically, you may need to use the dyndns updater every few days to keep everything working normally.

Choose "host with ip address"

Below this you should see a box with ip address( it will be blank), below this is a click link with this message "Your current location's IP address is xx.xxx.xxx.xxx" click on this and the ip address will fill in the empty box above...

No worries buddy, your welcome. Remember to click on save changes lol

Hi Guys
Im trying do this as well but still no joy
I have a port open in my router which is for my solo 2 am I right in thinking I can use the same port for Open Webinfo
and can I use the same host name as my solo 2

Cheers

You should use a different port for your webinfo... I assume the port you have open now is your sharing port???

You only need to use the one host name yes

@McKee
yes bud its my sharing port so will set another
Cheers buddy will give it another go tonight are you around buddy if I get stuck

Yep when I'm not working I'm usually not too far from here :snicker:

Afternoon chaps
ok I have managed to get webinfo going on my 4g price plan on my iphone network to my laptop but windows media player wont play how can I get it to play

also I thought that if I could get it to work of my phone internet which is a separate IP addy then all I would have to do when I goto my sisters house would be enter my dyns name and port then it would open webinfo there but it doesn't any ideas chaps
