Thanks ...that would be a bit of a drive lol....my friend was helping me but were running into some speed bumps.im good enough to program the controller but networking is a bit over my head.
I believe we have it hooked up to the internet but im having issues setting up the web page portion so I can access it remotely.
He set me up a dnys? Account but we think there may be a problem with it.is there an alternitive way?
Also having issues with having it send email and texts.
II believe he set the router up for that ...I had to buy a new router bc the old 1or didn't supposrt ddyns.port fowarding was set up...we fallowed the unofficial manual to the t pretty much I tihink.I have cablevision
Can you get to the site from inside? Odds are you'll need to change the port the site uses as Cable blocks port 80 inbound for residential. For the email you will need to use Cables server as well.
I'm over by St. Catherine's so can stop by if you still need a hand.
You are not being port blocked. If I can log into your APEX from here, then there is nothing being blocked. Your problem is the DYNDNS. You are not running on port 80.
If I can access your APEX directly via your IP and Port then nothing is being blocked. I told you that last night. Paying for DYNDNS is silly, try the no-ip.com. Yes you need to run that little application on your computer. But as I said your IP will not change that often. But since you guys never leave your computers on then you are more apt to get a change.
