Ok here is situation.
This company has cable internet coming into their Linksys etherfast router/firewall. Remotely Anywhere runs on port 2000. SO I have the router set to forward all port 2000 requests to the internal IP of the LAN PC thats running remotely anywhere. easy enough. So now I should be able to come in through the companies port 2000 on their public IP assigned to them by their cable company which has not changed for the last 3 weeks even though its set as dynamic. I plan to use a DNS registering program like www.dynip.com to handle the possibilities of a dynamic IP from the cable company if necessary. SO
Remotely Anywhere works great on the LAN. The WEIRD part is that it doesn't work at all from their public IP. But the 'boss lady' who lives 10 min from the place is on the same cable service and she is able to HIT THE INTERNAL IP OF THE ROUTER which then forwards her to the remotely anywhere machine. This ip is 10.10.10.158 ... This is not an internet routable IP. YET she is able to access it from her house I guess thats just a thing with cable. Still.. I need it to work from the internet IP so she can admin from anywhere not just from a computer that happens to be on the same cable network.
SO is there some special cable thing going on here that is preventing my request to port 2000 from going through. When I port probe the internet IP from my house it comes up as open but unused. SO WTF is going on here. Is this not really their IP but some virtual IP that for some reason wont work with remotely anywhere.
does this mean that the IP 10.10.10.158 is their IP and the one they have on the internet as reported by Shields Up or www.tzo.com is actually the cable companies routers IP and they are providing this company via some kind of NAT. Is this common for cable. I though most cable had real static IPs. In any case why can't I get through port 2000 or any other port with remotely anywhere. I have tried other ports like 12000 and changed Remotely Anywhere to use port 12000 but it still no workie.
Im not familiar enough with cable to know whats going on here.
I setup remotely anywhere using my software router winroute its port forwarded to the computer on the LAN running remotely anywhere and it WORKS just fine from anywhere on the internet. ODDLY I cannot access my computer through its own internet IP address maybe port forwarding does not work in that case because of the DNS forwarding that is running via winroute.. but anyone else can access me on the internet through the IP.
it even worked through www.safeweb.com ... BUT i cannot get the one at this company which is on cable to work via the internet IP at ALL.... Some cable guru HELP mee
